Gravitational waves from a dark phase transition

P Schwaller - Physical Review Letters, 2015 - APS
In this work, we show that a large class of models with a composite dark sector undergo a
strong first order phase transition in the early Universe, which could lead to a detectable …

Numerical simulations of acoustically generated gravitational waves at a first order phase transition

M Hindmarsh, SJ Huber, K Rummukainen, DJ Weir - Physical Review D, 2015 - APS
We present details of numerical simulations of the gravitational radiation produced by a first
order thermal phase transition in the early Universe. We confirm that the dominant source of …

Gravitational-wave cosmology across 29 decades in frequency

PD Lasky, CMF Mingarelli, TL Smith, JT Giblin Jr… - Physical Review X, 2016 - APS
Quantum fluctuations of the gravitational field in the early Universe, amplified by inflation,
produce a primordial gravitational-wave background across a broad frequency band. We …

NANOGrav signal from magnetohydrodynamic turbulence at the QCD phase transition in the early Universe

A Neronov, A Roper Pol, C Caprini, D Semikoz - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
The NANOGrav Collaboration has recently reported evidence for the existence of a
stochastic gravitational wave background in the 1–100 nHz frequency range. We argue that …

Strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma in heavy ion collisions

E Shuryak - Reviews of modern physics, 2017 - APS
A decade ago, a brief summary of the field of the relativistic heavy ion physics could be
formulated as the discovery of strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma, sQGP for short, a near …
