discovery opens a new way of learning about particle physics through GWs from first-order …

Dimensional transmutation in gravity and cosmology

A Salvio - International Journal of Modern Physics A, 2021 - World Scientific
We review (and extend) the analysis of general theories of all interactions (gravity included)
where the mass scales are due to dimensional transmutation. Quantum consistency requires …

Supercooling in radiative symmetry breaking: theory extensions, gravitational wave detection and primordial black holes

A Salvio - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org

strong phase transitions using data from Advanced LIGO and Virgo's first, second, and third …

Signatures of non-thermal dark matter with kination and early matter domination. Gravitational waves versus laboratory searches

A Ghoshal, L Heurtier, A Paul - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 - Springer
A bstract The non-thermal production of dark matter (DM) usually requires very tiny
couplings of the dark sector with the visible sector and therefore is notoriously challenging to …

Model-independent radiative symmetry breaking and gravitational waves

A Salvio - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract Models where symmetries are predominantly broken (and masses are then
generated) through radiative corrections typically produce strong first-order phase …

Probing pre-BBN era with scale invariant FIMP

B Barman, A Ghoshal - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Detecting dark matter (DM) relic via freeze-in is difficult in laboratories due to smallness of
the couplings involved. However, a non-standard cosmological history of the Universe, prior …
