Fun with the phases of the universe


IFPU
7-11 October 2024


The program focuses on phase transitions in the early universe, with a particular emphasis on the dynamics of dark sectors. We plan to review and foster the discussion of topics such as the calculation of the transition rate, a reliable determination of the phase transition parameters, relevant models at both weak and strong coupling and the study of possibly observable relics, such as gravitational waves, dark matter and dark radiation.
