Dynamical evolution of the pressure on the bubble wall

Benoit Laurent, Miguel Vanvlasselaer

First-order phase transitions in the early Universe are pivotal for gravitational wave production, baryogenesis, and dark matter generation. A central question is whether bubble wa…

WallGo investigates: Theoretical uncertainties in the bubble wall velocity

Jorinde van de Vis, Philipp Schicho, Lauri Niemi +3

We examine theoretical uncertainties in state-of-the-art calculations of the bubble wall velocity during first-order cosmological phase transitions. By utilising the software WallG…

How fast does the WallGo? A package for computing wall velocities in first-order phase transitions

Andreas Ekstedt, Oliver Gould, Joonas Hirvonen +4

WallGo is an open source software for the computation of the bubble wall velocity in first-order cosmological phase transitions. It also computes the energy budget available for th…

Bounds on the bubble wall velocity

Wen-Yuan Ai, Benoit Laurent, Jorinde van de Vis

Determining the bubble wall velocity in first-order phase transitions is a challenging task, requiring the solution of (coupled) equations of motion for the scalar field and Boltzm…

Model-independent bubble wall velocities in local thermal equilibrium

Wen-Yuan Ai, Benoit Laurent, Jorinde van de Vis

Accurately determining bubble wall velocities in first-order phase transitions is of great importance for the prediction of gravitational wave signals and the matter-antimatter asy…

First principles determination of bubble wall velocity

Benoit Laurent, James M. Cline

The terminal wall velocity of a first-order phase transition bubble can be calculated from a set of fluid equations describing the scalar fields and the plasma's state. We rederive…
