Gravitational waves from a supercooled electroweak phase transition and their detection with pulsar timing arrays

Abstract We investigate the properties of a stochastic gravitational wave background produced by a first-order electroweak phase transition in the regime of extreme supercooling. We study a scenario whereby the percolation temperature that signifies the completion of the transition, $$T_\mathrm{p}$$...
