摘要:

我们系统地研究了早期宇宙中一阶相变的粒子物理模型的一般参数化,包括零温下有无势垒的多项式势模型以及具有经典标度不变势的Coleman-Weinberg类模型。我们区分了三种相变可能性——爆轰、爆燃和混合,并考虑了这些模型相变过程中产生引力波的声波和湍流机制,检查每种情况下成功渗流的要求。我们认为,在没有零温势垒的模型和标度不变模型中,一般一阶宇宙学相变后声波产生引力波的时期仅持续哈勃时间的一小部分,而在一些具有严重过冷现象的零温势垒模型中,这一时期可能持续更长时间。我们说明了这些结果对未来引力波实验的影响。

英文摘要:

We survey systematically the general parametrisations of particle-physics models for a first-order phase transition in the early universe, including models with polynomial potentials both with and without barriers at zero temperature, and Coleman-Weinberg-like models with potentials that are classically scale-invariant. We distinguish three possibilities for the transition - detonations, deflagrations and hybrids - and consider sound waves and turbulent mechanisms for generating gravitational waves during the transitions in these models, checking in each case the requirement for successful percolation. We argue that in models without a zero-temperature barrier and in scale-invariant models the period during which sound waves generate gravitational waves lasts only for a fraction of a Hubble time after a generic first-order cosmological phase transition, whereas it may last longer in some models with a zero-temperature barrier that feature severe supercooling. We illustrate the implications of these results for future gravitational-wave experiments.
