Description

We present an update of our code BSMPT that allows for the detailed study of phase transitions between evolving minima in the one-loop daisy-resummed finite-temperature effective potential.
BSMPTv3 tracks temperature-dependent coexisting minimum phases, calculates the bounce solution for regions of coexisting minima, and determines the characteristic temperatures and parameters of found first-order phase transitions and signals of sourced gravitational waves.
We compare BSMPTv3 to the widely-used code CosmoTransitions and comment on our respective improvements.
