Probing phase transitions in the early universe with gravitational waves

Tuesday, 17 October 2023 at 11:15

Gravitational waves are an important probe of physics beyond the Standard Model, especially in theories with a first order phase transitions in the early universe.  I will review aspects of simulations and models of the generation of gravitational radiation, calculations of phase transition parameters, and prospects for their estimation at the future space-based gravitational wave detector LISA.
