Are oscillons present during a first order electroweak phase transition?
It has been recently argued that localized, unstable, but extremely long-lived configurations, called oscillons, could affect the dynamics of a first order electroweak phase transition in an appreciable way. Treating the amplitude and the size of subcritical bubbles as statistical degrees of freedom, we show that thermal fluctuations are not strong enough to generate subcritical configurations ...
متن کاملSimple model of first-order phase transition
One-dimensional model of a system where first-order phase transition occurs is examined in the present paper. It is shown that basic properties of the phenomenon, such as a well defined temperature of transition, are caused both by existence of a border between the phases and the fact that only in the vicinity of that border it is possible for molecules to change their phase. Not only the model...
متن کاملFirst Order Quark-Gluon/Hadron Transition May Affect Cosmological Nucleosynthesis
In the model of a first order quark-gluon/hadron phase transition in which the hadronic phase is considered as vacuum bubbles growing in the quarkgluon background with chiral symmetry broken inside the bubble, we find the estimate for the length scale associated with inhomogeneities originated during the transition, 10 m < ∼ l < ∼ 40 m, being sufficient to produce significant effects on cosmolo...
متن کاملFirst-order nonthermal phase transition after preheating
During preheating after inflation, parametric resonance rapidly generates very large fluctuations of scalar fields. In models where the inflaton field φ oscillates in a double-well potential and interacts with another scalar field X, fluctuations of X can keep the φ→ −φ symmetry temporarily restored. If the coupling of φ to X is much stronger than the inflaton self-coupling, the subsequent symm...
متن کاملGravitational waves from the sound of a first order phase transition.
We report on the first three-dimensional numerical simulations of first-order phase transitions in the early Universe to include the cosmic fluid as well as the scalar field order parameter. We calculate the gravitational wave (GW) spectrum resulting from the nucleation, expansion, and collision of bubbles of the low-temperature phase, for phase transition strengths and bubble wall velocities c...
