Gravitational wave background from Standard Model physics: complete leading order

Abstract We compute the production rate of the energy density carried by gravitational waves emitted by a Standard Model plasma in thermal equilibrium, consistently to leading order in coupling constants for momenta k ∼ πT. Summing up the contributions from the full history of the universe, the high...
