Description

Dark gauge sectors are well-motivated extensions of the Standard Model which may have interesting cosmological consequences. In this talk I will discuss the treatment of confinement and/or chiral phase transitions in dark QCD-like sectors, using Polyakov-extended chiral effective models. The implication for gravitational wave signatures in these type of theories will be explored.
