TPPC weekly seminar (in-person): Oliver Gould - "From theory to phenomenology for cosmological phase transitions"

Wednesday 5 Mar 2025, 12:30 → 13:45 Europe/London

Title: From theory to phenomenology for cosmological phase transitions
Abstract: The prospect of gravitational wave detectors observing the remnant signal of a cosmological phase transition has inspired a flurry of developments in their theoretical description. Automating these developments is needed to improve predictions for phenomenological studies of BSM models. In this talk, I will describe some key theoretical developments and discuss progress and challenges for their automation. I will highlight recent and forthcoming computer programs for computing bubble determinants and for tackling the question: how fast does the bubble wall go?
