We compute the gravitational wave spectrum from a tachyonic preheating transition of a Standard Model-like SU(2)-Higgs system. Tachyonic preheating involves exponentially growing IR modes, at scales as large as the horizon. Such a…

In this paper, we investigate the production of gravitational waves during the preheating era. To achieve this purpose, we consider Gauss-Bonnet inflation model with Power{\textendash}law potential, $V(\phi)= V_0 \phi^n$, and monomial…
