Description
Gravitational wave radiation can be formed in the early universe from bubbles originating from first-order phase transitions. Depending on the characteristics of the phase transition, the generated gravitational waves may be detected by future space-based gravitational wave detectors. Typically these transitions occur at time scales when the temperature of the universe was of order 50 GeV or earlier. In this talk, we look at much later phase transitions (around the 1 GeV range) and discuss the implications of these kinds of transitions. Specifically, we look at the possibility of detecting the resulting gravitational waves at current/future detectors.
