I will give a personal perspective on the possibility of achieving EW baryogenesis in extensions of the SM, based on enhancing the CP violating sources in the early Universe as compared to the ones constrained by EDMs at present times.
This talk is based on arXiv:2203.05889. Next generations of gravitational wave and future collider detectors can probe beyond the Standard Model theories that predict a strong first order electroweak phase transition. A combination of these two signals could be used to determine BSM scenarios and to measure relevant model parameters. In this talk, I will show a roadmap for addressing this...
The large excursion of the inflaton may trigger phase transitions in the spectator sector that couples to the inflaton field. Such phase transitions can produce gravitational waves. In this talk, I will discuss the properties of the gravitational waves produced in this way. I will discuss both first- and second-order phase transitions. The phase transitions during inflation can also produce...
