Gravitational waves from phase transition in a supersymmetric left-right model
摘要
We investigate the cosmological phase transition dynamics in a supersymmetric left-right symmetric model based on the gauge group SU(3)C × SU(2)L × SU(2)R × U(1)B−L that addresses the strong CP problem through extended parity symmetry and doublet-doublet splitting. We compute the finite temperature effective potential including one-loop Coleman-Weinberg corrections, thermal contributions, and daisy resummation to determine whether the SU(2)R × U(1)B−L → U(1)Y symmetry breaking transition can produce observable gravitational waves. For phenomenologically viable parameters satisfying current LHC constraints, we find that the phase transition is strongly first-order with nucleation temperature Tn ~ 0.5vR, transition strength parameter α ~ 0.01 – 0.3, and inverse duration β/H ~ 100. The resulting stochastic gravitational wave background peaks at frequencies f ~ 0.1 – 1 Hz with amplitude h2ΩGW ~ 10−14 – 10−12. We find that there is a parameter region where the gravitational wave spectrum overlaps with DECIGO/BBO sensitivity curves, providing a potentially observable signature connecting the theoretical solution to the strong CP problem with gravitational wave experiments.
