I will give the general properties of freezeout of a thermal relic.
This will be used to give an approximate perturbative unitarity bound
on the dark matter mass for an arbitrary thermal freezeout process. I
will show that within a standard cosmology it is possible to have
thermal dark matter freezeout via perturbative processes well above
the WIMP unitarity bound of 100 TeV. For dark...

32. Exploring the Gravitational Wave Universe with PTAs: where we are and where we are going.

4. Gravitational waves, astrophysical and collider phenomenology

By tracking the arrival times of radio pulses from a collection of pulsars in the Milky Way, several pulsar timing array collaborations have found evidence for a background of gravitational waves permeating our galaxy. In this talk, I will present this evidence, review possible cosmological interpretations of the signal, and discuss ways to discriminate between the signals emitted by these...

74. Theoretical uncertainties from thermal field theory and finite temperature field theory

Graham White

A reliable calculation of gravitational waves from a first order phase transition requires an accurate treatment of the thermal evolution of the effective potential. One loop corrections to the thermal potential are well known to miss numerically important contributions leading to theoretical uncertainties that are orders of magnitude in size for common treatments of phase transitions....
