Description

In certain scenarios, bubble walls may reach a velocity with a very large Lorentz boost factor or run away. For such ultrarelativistic bubble walls, a new energy scale $\gamma_w T$ emerges, allowing for the production of heavy particles. I will discuss the dynamics of ultrarelativistic bubble walls and the associated heavy dark matter and gravitational wave production.
