33. Cosmological phase transitions and what they can teach us about the Higgs sector

Philipp Klose (NIKHEF)

Stochastic gravitational wave backgrounds from strong first-order phase transitions in the early universe are a tantalizing probe for new physics that can complement constraints from current and future collider searches. In this talk, I will give a pedagogical introduction into the physics of cosmological phase transitions, and how we can use them to constrain new particles that couple to the...
