The BINGO telescope was designed to measure the fluctuations of the 21-cm radiation arising from the hyperfine transition of neutral hydrogen and aims to measure the Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) from such fluctuations, therefore…

Bubbles in a first-order electroweak phase transition are nucleated with radii $R_0$ and expand with velocity $v$. If $v$ is subsonic, a bubble becomes unstable to non-spherical perturbations when its radius is roughly $10^4\, R_0$. These…
