"Revealing the Mysteries of the Cosmos: Breakthroughs in Gravitational Wave Research"
Physicists at Monash University have published a review in Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, detailing their groundbreaking work on understanding the universe's fundamental physics through gravitational waves (GWs) and first-order phase transitions (FOPTs) in the early cosmos. The review provides a comprehensive guide for particle physicists to explore GW phenomenology, emphasizing the intricate journey from particle physics models to observable GWs induced by vacuum decays during FOPTs. The future holds immense potential for space- and ground-based detectors to reveal unseen phenomena, potentially emanating from FOPTs, promising to unlock the secrets of new physics beyond the standard model.
