Testing the Dark Confined Landscape: From Lattice to Gravitational Waves [CL]

http://arxiv.org/abs/2012.11614


We investigate dark sectors made of $SU(N)$ Yang-Mills confined theories coupled mainly gravitationally to our world. We employ state-of-the-art lattice results combined with effective field theory approaches to infer the dark deconfinement phase transition impact on gravitational-wave generation and detection in the early universe. For any number of dark colours $N$ larger than two, we demonstrate via a detailed analysis of the induced gravitational-waves that the landscape of dark strong sectors will be strongly constrained by future gravitational-wave detection experiments such as LISA, the Big Bang Observer, and DECIGO in the GeV range and by the Einstein Telescope and Cosmic Explorer in the TeV region.
