Gravitational Waves from first-order phase transition and domain wall

Abstract

In many particle physics models, domain wall can form during the phase transition process after discrete symmetry breaking. We study the scenario within a complex singlet extended Standard Model framework, where a strongly first order phase transition can occur depending on the hidden scalar mass and the mixing between the extra heavy Higgs and the SM Higgs mass. The gravitational wave spectrum is of a typical two-peak shape, the amplitude and the peak from the strongly first order phase transition is able to be probed by the future space-based interferometers, and the one locates around the peak from the domain wall decay is far beyond the capability of the current PTA, and future SKA.
