Speaker: Pasquale di Bari, University of Southampton

Title: Gravitational waves from neutrino mass genesis

Abstract:
I will discuss some recent ideas on how gravitational wave (GW) production could accompany the origin of neutrino masses in the early universe in models where this occurs via a first order phase transition. I will discuss a specific case where even dark matter genesis could be the result of the  same phase transition. This primordial GW production will be probed by next GW interferometers. In this way the search for a primordial stochastic GW background might in the next years shed light on stages in the history of the early universe that have so far been precluded.
