Cosmological phase transitions and what they can teach us about the Higgs sector
- Philipp Klose (NIKHEF)
3:00 PM - 4:00 PM
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 Higgs boson. As an example, I will consider the singlet-extended standard model, which couples the Higgs to a single new scalar particle. I will conclude by highlighting some open questions and uncertainties for theoretical predictions of gravitational waves from very strong transitions.
