Stochastic Gravitational Radiation from Phase Transitions

Abstract

A stochastic background of gravitational radiation from cosmological processes in the very early Universe is potentially detectable. We review the gravitational radiation which may arise from cosmological phase transitions, covering both bubble collisions and turbulence as sources. Prospects for detecting a direct signal from the electroweak phase transition or other cosmological sources with a space-based laser interferometer are discussed.Comment: 10 pages, no figures, to appear in proceedings of Astrophysical Sources of Gravitational Radiation for Ground-Based Detectors, Drexel University, Oct. 30 - Nov. 1 200
