We investigate the potential for observing gravitational waves from cosmological phase transitions with LISA in light of recent theoretical and experimental developments. Our analysis is based on current state-of-the-art simulations of sound waves in the cosmic fluid after the phase transition completes. We discuss the various sources of gravitational radiation, the underlying parameters describing the phase transition and a variety of viable particle physics models in this context, clarifying common misconceptions that appear in the literature and identifying open questions requiring future study. We also present a web-based tool, PTPlot, that allows users to obtain up-to-date detection prospects for a given set of phase transition parameters at LISA.

We search for a first-order phase transition gravitational wave signal in 45 pulsars from the NANOGrav 12.5 year dataset. We find that the data can be explained in terms of a strong first order phase transition taking place at temperatures below the
electroweak scale. In our search, we find that the signal from a first order phase transition is degenerate with that generated by Supermassive Black Hole Binary mergers. An interesting open question is how well gravitational wave observatories could separate such signals.
First order phase transitions in the early Universe generate gravitational waves, which may be observable in future space-based gravitational wave observatiories, e.g. the European eLISA satellite constellation. The gravitational waves provide an unp
recedented direct view of the Universe at the time of their creation. We study the generation of the gravitational waves during a first order phase transition using large-scale simulations of a model consisting of relativistic fluid and an order parameter field. We observe that the dominant source of gravitational waves is the sound generated by the transition, resulting in considerably stronger radiation than earlier calculations have indicated.
Gravitational waves generated during a first-order electroweak phase transition have a typical frequency which today falls just within the band of the planned space interferometer LISA. Contrary to what happens in the Standard Model, in its supersymm
etric extensions the electroweak phase transition may be strongly first order, providing a mechanism for generating the observed baryon asymmetry in the Universe. We show that during the same transition the production of gravitational waves can be rather sizable. While the energy density in gravitational waves can reach at most $h_0^2 Omega_{rm gw}simeq 10^{-16}$ in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, in the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Model, in some parameter range, $h_0^2 Omega_{rm gw}$ can be as high as $4times 10^{-11}$. A stochastic background of gravitational waves of this intensity is within the reach of the planned sensitivity of LISA. Since in the Standard Model the background of gravitational waves is totally neglegible, its detection would also provide a rather unexpected experimental signal of supersymmetry and a tool to descriminate among supersymmetric models with different Higgs content.
Cosmological phase transitions in the primordial universe can produce anisotropic stochastic gravitational wave backgrounds (GWB), similar to the cosmic microwave background (CMB). For adiabatic perturbations, the fluctuations in GWB follow those in
the CMB, but if primordial fluctuations carry an isocurvature component, this need no longer be true. It is shown that in non-minimal inflationary and reheating settings, primordial isocurvature can survive in GWB and exhibit significant non-Gaussianity (NG) in contrast to the CMB, while obeying current observational bounds. While probing such NG GWB is at best a marginal possibility at LISA, there is much greater scope at future proposed detectors such as DECIGO and BBO. It is even possible that the first observations of inflation-era NG could be made with gravitational wave detectors as opposed to the CMB or Large-Scale Structure surveys.
We study gravitational wave (GW) production in strongly supercooled cosmological phase transitions, taking particular care of models featuring a complex scalar field with a U$(1)$ symmetric potential. We perform lattice simulations of two-bubble coll
isions to properly model the scalar field gradients, and compute the GW spectrum sourced by them using the thin-wall approximation in many-bubble simulations. We find that in the U$(1)$ symmetric case the low-frequency spectrum is $proptoomega$ whereas for a real scalar field it is $proptoomega^3$. In both cases the spectrum decays as $omega^{-2}$ at high frequencies.
