Abstract We study the gravitational-wave signal stemming from strongly coupled models featuring both, dark chiral and confinement phase transitions. We therefore identify strongly coupled theories that can feature a first-order phase transition. Employing the Polyakov-Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model, we focus our attention on SU(3) Yang-Mills theories featuring fermions in fundamental, adjoint, and two-index symmetric representations. We discover that for the gravitational-wave signals analysis, there are significant differences between the various representations. Interestingly we also observe that the two-index symmetric representation leads to the strongest first-order phase transition and therefore to a higher chance of being detected by the Big Bang Observer experiment. Our study of the confinement and chiral phase transitions is further applicable to extensions of the Standard Model featuring composite dynamics.

I discuss the gravitational radiation produced in a first-order phase transition due to the turbulence that is caused by bubble expansion. I compare the cases of deflagration and detonation bubbles.

First Order Phase

We present common 1D model of first order phase transition based on coupled solution of order parameters evolution and heat transfer equations. Such a model may be used for simulation of phase transitions in multiferroics or magnetostructural phase transitions, for example. First order phase transition process has been described by Landau-Khalatnikov-like equation with the thermodynamic potential of 2-3-4 and 2-4-6 types.

In this paper, we review the most common descriptions for the first-order phase transition to deconfined quark matter in the core of neutron stars. We also present a new description of these phase transitions in the core of proto-neutron stars, in which more constraints are enforced so as to include trapped neutrinos. Finally, we calculate the emission of gravitational waves associated with deconfinement phase transitions, discuss the possibility of their detection, and how this would provide information about the equation of state of dense matter.

Based on the Hamiltonian of the Ising model in a transverse field, we have considered the four-spin interaction which is responsible for the first-order phase transition observed in order-disorder ferroelectrics. Using the method of the retarded Green’s function we have determined the relative polarization, the spin-wave energy, the transverse and longitudinal damping. They are numerically calculated and discussed for different temperature and tunneling frequency values in the cases of first- and second-order phase transitions.

We consider two realistic models for a scale invariant extension of the standard model, which couples with a hidden non-Abelian gauge sector. At energies around TeV, the hidden sector becomes strongly interacting, thereby generating a robust energy scale, which is transferred to the standard model sector, triggering the electroweak symmetry breaking. At a finite temperature, i.e. in the early Universe, the generation of the robust energy scale appears as a strong first-order phase transition. We calculate the gravitational wave background spectrum for both models, which is produced by the first-order phase transition. We compare the results with the experimental sensitivity of LISA and DECIGO and find the gravitational wave signal may be detected at DECIGO.

Grinding of CsHSO4 can create a low-energy state which relaxes at 375 K by a first order phase transition with an endothermic enthalpy change of 1.14kJ/mol. The formed low-energy state can be transferred by one-dimensional pressure to a higher energy state which relaxes at 333 K by a first order phase transition with an endothermic enthalpy change of 0.55 kJ/mol. This striking - previously unknown - behaviour is probably not limited to CsHSO4 only, and it represents a new class of phase transitions. The involvement of the hydrogen bond present and the importance of water content are stressed. The temperatures and enthalpies of all three phase transitions of CsHSO4 are determined by DSC.
