Gravitational wave signal from primordial magnetic fields in the Pulsar Timing Array frequency band
The NANOGrav, Parkes, European, and International Pulsar Timing Array (PTA) Collaborations have reported evidence for a common-spectrum process that can potentially correspond to a stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) in the 1-100 nHz frequency ...
AMER PHYSICAL SOC2022Novel Search for High-Frequency Gravitational Waves with Low-Mass Axion Haloscopes
Gravitational waves (GWs) generate oscillating electromagnetic effects in the vicinity of external electric and magnetic fields. We discuss this phenomenon with a particular focus on reinterpreting the results of axion haloscopes based on lumped-element de ...
2022Stochastic gravitational-wave background from metastable cosmic strings
A metastable cosmic-string network is a generic consequence of many grand unified theories (GUTs) when combined with cosmic inflation. Metastable cosmic strings are not topologically stable, but decay on cosmic time scales due to pair production of GUT mon ...
IOP Publishing Ltd2021Relic Gravitational Waves from the Chiral Magnetic Effect
Relic gravitational waves (GWs) can be produced by primordial magnetic fields. However, not much is known about the resulting GW amplitudes and their dependence on the details of the generation mechanism. Here we treat magnetic field generation through the ...
IOP PUBLISHING LTD2021From NANOGrav to LIGO with metastable cosmic strings
We interpret the recent NANOGrav results in terms of a stochastic gravitational wave background from metastable cosmic strings. The observed amplitude of a stochastic signal can be translated into a range for the cosmic string tension and the mass of magne ...
2020Probing the gravitational wave background from cosmic strings with LISA
Cosmic string networks offer one of the best prospects for detection of cosmological gravitational waves (GWs). The combined incoherent GW emission of a large number of string loops leads to a stochastic GW background (SGWB), which encodes the properties o ...
