Description

I will discuss phase transitions at the TeV scale, in particular the
electroweak one (in extensions of the standard model). I will review
the current status of how gravitational waves are generated during the
phase transition, and show how the resulting gravitational wave signal
can be obtained from key properties of the transition. Finally, I will
discuss detection prospects at future interferometers, such as LISA.
I also plan to speak on links to collider physics and baryogenesis.
