abstract
We study the phenomenology of gauge singlet extensions of the Standard Model scalar sector and their implications for the electroweak phase transition. We determine the conditions on the scalar potential parameters that lead to a strong first order phase transition as needed to produce the observed baryon asymmetry of the universe. We analyze the constraints on the potential parameters derived from Higgs boson searches at LEP and electroweak precision observables. For models that satisfy these constraints and that produce a strong first order phase transition, we discuss the prospective signatures in future Higgs studies at the Large Hadron Collider and a Linear Collider. We argue that such studies will provide powerful probes of phase transition dynamics in models with an extended scalar sector.

Non-Gaussian primordial fluctuations of a Z2-symmetric spectator scalar trigger a strong first-order electroweak phase transition, with the field serving as cold dark matter and generating a stochastic gravitational wave background in the 10^{-3}-10^{-1} Hz band.
Tensor perturbations from FOPT and domain-wall sources are claimed to induce second-order scalar perturbations large enough to form primordial black holes, potentially all of the dark matter.
A dimension-six operator |H|^2|phi|^4 in a U(1)_D singlet extension relaxes the usual Higgs-portal and mixing-angle correlation, enabling strong first-order electroweak phase transitions driven primarily by the singlet VEV.
Using simulated Taiji data, the authors show that a stochastic gravitational-wave signal from an electroweak phase transition in the singlet-extended Standard Model can constrain the Higgs cubic and quartic self-couplings.
Real scalar singlet extension of SM permits strong first-order EWPT for singlet masses up to ~1 TeV; HL-LHC tests large fraction of space while FCC offers discovery reach.
In a Z4 fermion-scalar dark matter model, strong first-order electroweak phase transitions and gravitational wave signals occur only in the thermal two-component regime with Mψ < MS < 2Mψ or the decay-driven WIMP-FIMP regime with MS > 2Mψ after dark matter constraints.
Updated LISA detection prospects for gravitational waves from phase transitions are derived from state-of-the-art sound-wave simulations, with a new web tool PTPlot provided for parameter scans.
Vector boson fusion processes at the LHC distinguish Higgs portal dark matter from neutralino dark matter at over 5 sigma using jet kinematics and a Kolmogorov-Smirnov test with linear discriminant analysis.
Muon colliders at 3 TeV and 10 TeV can probe branching ratios for h to SS decays in 4b and 2b2μ channels down to 10^{-3}–10^{-5}, improving on HL-LHC projections using machine learning.
Requiring exotic Higgs decays to two or three light singlet scalars not to exceed the SM Higgs width yields cos θ < 0.12-0.13 for m_φ < 40 GeV, with predicted rate limits Γ(h→φφ) < 0.06 MeV and Γ(h→φφφ) < 5×10^{-6} MeV under stronger mixing bounds.
