SMEFT Effects on the Gravitational Wave Spectrum from an Electroweak Phase Transition
PHYSICAL REVIEW D(2023)
摘要
Future gravitational wave observations are potentially sensitive to new physics corrections to the Higgs potential once the first-order electroweak phase transition arises. We study the Standard Model effective field theory (SMEFT) dimension-six operator effects on the Higgs potential, where three types of effects are taken into account: (i) SMEFT tree level effect on phi 6 operator, (ii) SMEFT tree level effect on the wave function renormalization of the Higgs field, and (iii) SMEFT top-quark one-loop level effect. The sensitivity of future gravitational wave observations to these effects is numerically calculated by performing a Fisher matrix analysis. We find that the future gravitational wave observations can be sensitive to (ii) and (iii) once the first-order electroweak phase transition arises from (i). The dimension -eight phi 8 operator effects on the first-order electroweak phase transition are also discussed. The sensitivities of the future gravitational wave observations are also compared with those of future collider experiments.
