Future gravitational wave detectors probing the mHz - nHz frequency range will provide a unique opportunity for BSM physicists to study new physics. Neutron star and white dwarf mergers can serve as axion probes, while extreme mass ratio inspirals can constrain dark forces. Gravitational wave detectors will also probe early first order phase transitions. I will discuss some ongoing work and...

The observation of gravitational waves opens a new window for exploring astrophysics and cosmology. These messengers enable the concurrent measurement of their amplitudes and phases, facilitating a precise analysis of wave production and propagation. In this talk, I will demonstrate how gravitational waves can be utilized to study the properties of dark matter. Specifically, I will use wave...

Any particle physics model exhibiting symmetry breaking is necessarily accompanied by a phase transition taking the particle content of the universe from its initially symmetric phase to one where the underlying gauge symmetry is “broken”. First-order phase transitions (FOPTs) are characterized by the rapid expansion of bubbles containing the new broken phase, which nucleate stochastically...

The knowledge of the Higgs potential is crucial for understanding the origin of mass and the thermal history of our Universe. We show how collider measurements and observations of stochastic gravitational wave signals can complement each other to explore the multiform scalar potential in the two Higgs doublet model. In our investigation, we analyze critical elements of the Higgs potential to...
