声壳模型中一阶宇宙相变的引力波

Gravitational waves from first order cosmological phase transitions in the Sound Shell Model

Mark Hindmarsh, Mulham Hijazi

摘要:

本文用声壳模型计算了早期宇宙一阶相变的引力波功率谱。该模型预测,功率谱取决于平均气泡分离,相变强度,相边界速度,与成核温度设置的总频率尺度。气泡成核速率的时间演化也有依赖性。的引力波峰值功率和频率是在良好的协议与出版的数值模拟,气泡同时成核。协议是特别好的爆炸,但总功率预测爆燃高于数值模拟显示,表明精确的计算需要改进的模型的能量转移到流体。我们展示了气泡成核率的时间依赖性如何影响功率谱的形状:指数上升的成核率在较长的波长比同时成核产生更高的振幅引力波。我们提出了一个改进的拟合预测的引力波功率谱的形式的双破幂律,其中两个突破的斜率发生在波数对应的平均气泡分离和周围的流体壳的厚度膨胀的气泡,这反过来又涉及到从声速的相边界速度的差异。

英文摘要:

We calculate gravitational wave power spectra from first order early Universe phase transitions using the Sound Shell Model. The model predicts that the power spectrum depends on the mean bubble separation, the phase transition strength, the phase boundary speed, with the overall frequency scale set by the nucleation temperature. There is also a dependence on the time evolution of the bubble nucleation rate. The gravitational wave peak power and frequency are in good agreement with published numerical simulations, where bubbles are nucleated simultaneously. Agreement is particularly good for detonations, but the total power for deflagrations is predicted higher than numerical simulations show, indicating refinement of the model of the transfer of energy to the fluid is needed for accurate computations. We show how the time-dependence of the bubble nucleation rate affects the shape of the power spectrum: an exponentially rising nucleation rate produces higher amplitude gravitational waves at a longer wavelength than simultaneous nucleation. We present an improved fit for the predicted gravitational wave power spectrum in the form of a double broken power law, where the two breaks in the slope happen at wavenumber corresponding to the mean bubble separation and the thickness of the fluid shell surrounding the expanding bubbles, which in turn is related to the difference of the phase boundary speed from the speed of sound.
