Cold-atom analog experiments are a promising new tool for studying relativistic vacuum
decay, enabling one to empirically probe early-Universe theories in the laboratory. However …

Accurate calculations of the nucleation rate $\Gamma $ for first order phase transitions are
important for determining their observable consequences in particle physics and cosmology …

As the universe expanded and cooled, it is likely to have experienced one or more phase
transitions. In a first-order phase transition, below a critical temperature 𝑇c there is a …
