On Finite Temperature Quantum Field Theory: From Theoretical Foundations To Electroweak Phase Transition
Mohamed Aboudonia, Csaba Balazs
In the immediate aftermath of the Big Bang, the universe existed in an extremely hot, dense state in which particle interactions occurred not in a vacuum but within a thermal mediu…
PhaseTracer2: from the effective potential to gravitational waves
Peter Athron, Csaba Balazs, Andrew Fowlie +4
In recent years, the prospect of detecting gravitational waves sourced from a strongly first-order cosmological phase transition has emerged as one of the most exciting frontiers o…
Investigating the Electroweak Phase Transition with a Real Scalar Singlet at a Muon Collider
Mohamed Aboudonia, Csaba Balazs, Andreas Papaefstathiou +1
A strong first-order electroweak phase transition (SFOEWPT) is essential for explaining baryogenesis and for potentially generating observable gravitational waves. This study inves…
Reinterpretation and preservation of data and analyses in HEP
Jon Butterworth, Sabine Kraml, Harrison Prosper +145
Data from particle physics experiments are unique and are often the result of a very large investment of resources. Given the potential scientific impact of these data, which goes…
Design Initiative for a 10 TeV pCM Wakefield Collider
Spencer Gessner, Jens Osterhoff, Carl A. Lindstrøm +198
This document outlines a community-driven Design Study for a 10 TeV pCM Wakefield Accelerator Collider. The 2020 ESPP Report emphasized the need for Advanced Accelerator R\&D, and…
A comparison of Bayesian sampling algorithms for high-dimensional particle physics and cosmology applications
Joshua Albert, Csaba Balazs, Andrew Fowlie +4
For several decades now, Bayesian inference techniques have been applied to theories of particle physics, cosmology and astrophysics to obtain the probability density functions of…
