Imprints of Reheating Dynamics on Gravitational Waves from Phase Transitions

Basabendu Barman, Maciej Kierkla, Marek Lewicki +1

We investigate how perturbative reheating after inflation modifies the primordial gravitational wave (GW) spectrum generated by cosmological phase transitions. Within a specific in…

Exploring Ultra-Slow-Roll Inflation in Composite Pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone Boson Models: Implications for Primordial Black Holes and Gravitational Waves

Marco Merchand

We study inflation driven by a scalar potential arising from composite-sector dynamics, inspired by generalized composite Higgs models. The introduction of a non-minimal coupling,…

From friction scaling to an efficient method for estimating bubble wall velocity

Tomasz Krajewski, Marek Lewicki, Marco Merchand +2

We present a unified description of first-order cosmological phase transition dynamics that links the phenomenological friction model employed in hydrodynamic simulations to the mi…

Hunting for heavy with IceCube neutrinos and gravitational waves

Basabendu Barman, Arindam Das, Suruj Jyoti Das +1

In the minimal gauged B-L extension of the Standard Model, we demonstrate that PeV-scale dark matter (DM) and the baryon asymmetry of the Universe (BAU) can be simultaneously expla…

Impact of theoretical uncertainties on model parameter reconstruction from GW signals sourced by cosmological phase transitions

Marek Lewicki, Marco Merchand, Laura Sagunski +2

Different computational techniques for cosmological phase transition parameters can impact the Gravitational Wave (GW) spectra predicted in a given particle physics model. To scrut…

Phase transition and gravitational waves in maximally symmetric composite Higgs model

Avik Banerjee, Marco Merchand, Ignacy Nałęcz

In this paper we study phase transitions in a maximally symmetric composite Higgs model with next-to-minimal coset, where a pseudoscalar singlet emerges alongside the Higgs doublet…
