| Descrizione sintetica in italiano | The research project, in the context of the ERC AdG DarkSHunt, aims at studying phase transitions in rich dark sectors, understanding the dynamics of bubble nucleation and evolution and the resulting gravitational waves. It will also involve the researcher in discussions and collaborations with the members of the theoretical sector of DIFA, fostering possible external interactions (both international and otherwise) of the researcher with internationally renowned theorists. The activity of the researcher will progressively address the topics mentioned above, starting from theoretical analysis and then focusing on numerical and phenomenological aspects. In particular, the researcher will be guided in developing scientific autonomy in tackling some of the most interesting and relevant themes of theoretical astroparticle physics. |
| Descrizione sintetica in inglese | The research project will focus on particle physics and fundamental interactions and in particular on rich dark sectors, i.e., extensions of the SM below the electroweak scale with weak couplings to visible particles (thus "dark") with a rich structure, with multiple particles and interactions, in the context of the ERC DarkSHunt project. In these cases, the breaking of dark symmetry can generate gravitational waves when such a phase transition is of the first order. If it is supercooled, it could also explain the recent discovery of a stochastic background of gravitational waves from PTA experiments. The project will study the theoretical aspects of phase transitions by analyzing them from an analytical and numerical viewpoint, with the ELENA code, and considering the subsequent production of gravitational waves. It will compare the results with those of NanoGrav and other PTA experiments and the sensitivities of future experiments such as SKA. |
