We discuss a cosmological phase transition within the Standard Model which incorporates spontaneously broken scale invariance as a low-energy theory. In addition to the Standard Model fields, the minimal model involves a light dilaton,…

We investigate the stochastic gravitational waves background arising from the first-order QCD chiral phase transition, considering three distinct sources: bubble collisions, sound waves, and fluid turbulence. Within the framework of the…

Bardeen has argued that once the classically conformal invariance and its minimal violation by quantum anomalies are imposed on the SM, it can be free from the quadratic divergences and hence the gauge hierarchy problem. Under the…
