摘要:

非标准宇宙学历史中,早期物质主导(EMD)时期出现在各种早期宇宙的顶层模型中。通常,在EMD后期,由于驱动EMD的物种衰变产生熵,温度下降比辐射主导宇宙中更慢。时间依赖的衰变率可以显著改变这一图景,甚至导致温度上升的时期。我们研究了一个动机良好的EMD场景中非单调温度演化,该场景具有时间依赖的衰变率,可以在冷却和加热阶段引发多个一阶相变。由此产生的引力波(GW)谱表现出特征性特征,如多个峰值和高频处的独特行为。这些特征使我们能够确定相变温度以及EMD结束时的再加热温度。因此,未来的引力波探测器可以为新物理学提供探针,并成为早期热历史的窗口。

英文摘要:

Non-standard cosmological histories with epochs of early matter domination (EMD) arise in various top-down models of the early universe. Typically, in the latter stage of EMD, temperature decreases more slowly than in a radiation dominated universe because of entropy generation from decay of the species that drives EMD. A time-dependent decay rate can significantly modify this picture and even lead to a period with increasing temperature. We study non-monotonic temperature evolution in a well-motivated scenario of EMD with a time-dependent decay rate that can give rise to multiple first-order phase transitions in both cooling and heating phases. The spectra of the ensuing gravitational waves (GW) exhibit characteristic features such as multiple peaks and a distinct behavior at high frequencies. These features allow us to determine the phase transition temperature as well as the reheating temperature at the end of the EMD. The future GW detectors can therefore provide a probe for the new physics and a window to the early thermal history.
