Nucleation and bubble growth in a first-order cosmological electroweak phase transition
Abstract
We study the kinetics of first-order cosmological phase transitions assuming a four-parameter form for the Higgs potential driving the transition. This leads to a phenomenological equation of state for electroweak matter with a stable high-$T$ phase for $T>{T}_{c}$ and a low-$T$ phase for $T<{T}_{c}$. The nucleation probability of low-$T$ bubbles, both critical and subcritical, is computed and their growth and coalescence is simulated. We show that they can grow as deflagrations and that detonations are unlikely. Possible front velocities and entropy production are studied. The results are applied to parameter values conjectured for the electroweak phase transition and compared with those obtained for the quark\ensuremath{\rightarrow}hadron phase transition.

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.
