Signals of the electroweak phase transition at colliders and gravitational wave observatories

Abstract: If the electroweak phase transition (EWPT) is of strongly first order due to higher dimensional operators, the scale of new physics generating them is at the TeV scale or below. In this case the effective-field theory (EFT) neglecting operators of dimension higher than six may overlook terms that are relevant for the EWPT analysis. In this article we study the EWPT in the EFT to dimension eight. We estimate the reach of the future gravitational wave observatory LISA for probing the region in which the EWPT is … Show more

“…This formalism allows us to introduce the operators required to satisfy the Sakharov conditions, as well as modify the SM gauge couplings. The effect of operators required to ensure a first order phase transition and provide new CP violation are well understood, and have been studied extensively in the literature [12][13][14][15][16][17]. The novel aspect of our work is to include dimension-5 operators involving new scalar fields, which change the effective gauge couplings in the early universe.…”

“…Hence, this model predicts striking same-sign multilepton signatures at the LHC due to the presence of multicharged scalars and vectorlike leptons. Scalar quadruplets can be very interesting for electroweak phase transition as well [10].…”

“…The conventional choice of the temperature at which the above condition is evaluated is T c , but a more precise timing is the nucleation temperature T n (see e.g., Ref. [9,108,109]), which we use here. Since generally T n < T c and v h (T n ) > v h (T c ), it might seem at first glance that the above condition is weaker when implemented at T n than at T c .…”
