Dark Transport Erases Baryon Inhomogeneity from Supercooled Phase Transitions

Sudhakantha Girmohanta, Kohei Kamada, Yuichiro Nakai +1

Supercooled phase transitions can generate observable gravitational waves, but their bubble dynamics may also imprint large spatial inhomogeneities in the baryon asymmetry. For pha…

Particle Production via Rippled Bubble Walls

Ryusuke Jinno, Shota Nakagawa, Yuichiro Nakai +1

We investigate non-thermal particle production during first-order phase transitions in the presence of ultra-relativistic thick bubble walls with non-trivial internal structure. Ex…
