Description
In this talk, I will discuss how to formulate precise predictions for the parameters of supercooled cosmological first-order phase transitions. I will explain the construction of the high-temperature effective field theory (EFT) applicable to the issue of nucleation. Using this EFT, I will show how to consistently formulate predictions at next-to-leading order in perturbation theory, paying special attention to the issue of various mass/energy scales and how they vary across the bubble.
