Bubble growth and droplet decay in the quark-hadron phase transition in the early Universe
Abstract
When the Universe was about 10 \ensuremath{\mu}sec old, it underwent a phase transition in which the quarks and gluons condensed into hadrons. We assume that this phase transition was of first order and study how the Universe evolved through the mixed phase in a scenario with small initial supercooling and monotonically growing hadronic bubbles. Nucleation of bubbles, collisions of shock fronts preceding the bubbles, arrestation of bubble growth by the reheating due to these collisions, subsequent slow growth of the bubbles to fill the entire Universe, condensation of baryon number, death of the remaining quark matter droplets, and the resulting density perturbations are discussed. A (1+1)-dimensional approximation is frequently used to make analytic calculations possible.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
