Gravitational waves from the first order phase transition of the Higgs field at high energy scales
نویسندگان
چکیده
In a wide class of new physics models, there exist scalar fields that obtain vacuum expectation values of high energy scales. We study the possibility that the standard model Higgs field has experienced first order phase transition at the high energy scale due to the couplings with these scalar fields. We estimate the amount of gravitational waves produced by the phase transition, and discuss observational consequences.

متن کاملOn the High T Phase Transition in the Gauged SU (2) Higgs Model
We study the effective field theory of a weakly coupled 3+1d gauged φ type model at high temperature. Our model has 4N real scalars (N complex Higgs doublets) and a gauge group SU(2) which is spontaneously broken by a nonzero scalar field vev at zero temperature. We find, for sufficiently large N , that the transition from the high temperature symmetry restoring phase to the low temperature pha...

Gravitational waves are considered in thermal vacuum state. The amplitude and spectral energy density of gravitational waves are found enhanced in thermal vacuum state compared to its zero temperature counterpart. Therefore, the allowed amount of enhancement depends on the upper bound of WMAP-5 and WMAP-7 for the amplitude and spectral energy density of gravitational waves. The enhancement of ...
متن کاملSound Shell Model for Acoustic Gravitational Wave Production at a First-Order Phase Transition in the Early Universe.
A model for the acoustic production of gravitational waves at a first-order phase transition is presented. The source of gravitational radiation is the sound waves generated by the explosive growth of bubbles of the stable phase. The model assumes that the sound waves are linear and that their power spectrum is determined by the characteristic form of the sound shell around the expanding bubble...
متن کاملPolarized cosmological gravitational waves from primordial helical turbulence.
We show that helical turbulence produced during a first-order phase transition generates circularly polarized cosmological gravitational waves (GWs). The characteristic frequency of these GWs for an extreme case of the phase transition model is around 10(-3)-10(-2) Hz with an energy density parameter as high as 10(-12)-10(-11). The possibility of detection is briefly discussed.
