Cosmological phase transitions: From perturbative particle physics to gravitational waves

P Athron, C Balázs, A Fowlie, L Morris, L Wu - Progress in Particle and …, 2024 - Elsevier
Gravitational waves (GWs) were recently detected for the first time. This revolutionary
discovery opens a new way of learning about particle physics through GWs from first-order …

The landscape of QCD axion models

L Di Luzio, M Giannotti, E Nardi, L Visinelli - Physics Reports, 2020 - Elsevier
We review the landscape of QCD axion models. Theoretical constructions that extend the
window for the axion mass and couplings beyond conventional regions are highlighted and …

The ALICE experiment: a journey through QCD

ALICE collaboration - European Physical Journal C, 2024 - jyx.jyu.fi
The ALICE experiment was proposed in 1993, to study strongly-interacting matter at extreme
energy densities and temperatures. This proposal entailed a comprehensive investigation of …

Axion cosmology

DJE Marsh - Physics Reports, 2016 - Elsevier
Axions comprise a broad class of particles that can play a major role in explaining the
unknown aspects of cosmology. They are also well-motivated within high energy physics …

The nonperturbative functional renormalization group and its applications

N Dupuis, L Canet, A Eichhorn, W Metzner… - Physics Reports, 2021 - Elsevier
The renormalization group plays an essential role in many areas of physics, both
conceptually and as a practical tool to determine the long-distance low-energy properties of …

[BOOK][B] The early universe

E Kolb - 2018 - taylorfrancis.com
The Early Universe has become the standard reference on forefront topics in cosmology,

Cosmology of the invisible axion

J Preskill, MB Wise, F Wilczek - Physics Letters B, 1983 - Elsevier
We identify a new cosmological problem for models which solve the strong CP puzzle with
an invisible axion, unrelated to the domain wall problem. Because the axion is very weakly …

The not-so-harmless axion

M Dine, W Fischler - Physics Letters B, 1983 - Elsevier
Cosmological aspects of a very weakly interacting axion are discussed. A solution to the
problem of domain walls discussed by Sikivie is mentioned. Demanding that axions do not …

Anti-de Sitter space, thermal phase transition, and confinement in gauge theories

E Witten - arxiv preprint hep-th/9803131, 1998 - arxiv.org
The correspondence between supergravity (and string theory) on $ AdS $ space and
boundary conformal field theory relates the thermodynamics of ${\cal N}= 4$ super Yang …
