abstract
First order phase transitions in the early universe could produce a gravitational-wave background that might be detectable by the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). Such an observation would provide evidence for physics beyond the Standard Model. We study the ability of LISA to observe a gravitational-wave background from phase transitions in the presence of an extragalactic foreground from binary black hole mergers throughout the universe, a galactic foreground from white dwarf binaries, and LISA noise. Modelling the phase transition gravitational wave background as a double broken power law, we use the deviance information criterion as a detection statistic, and Fisher matrix and Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods to assess the measurement accuracy of the parameters of the power spectrum. While estimating all the parameters associated with the gravitational-wave backgrounds, foregrounds, and LISA noise, we find that LISA could detect a gravitational-wave background from phase transitions with a peak frequency of 1 mHz and normalized energy density amplitude of $\Omega_{\text p} \simeq 3 \times 10^{-11}$. With $\Omega_{\text p} \simeq 10^{-10}$, the signal is detectable if the peak frequency is in the range $4 \times 10^{-4}$ to $9 \times 10^{-3}$ Hz, and the peak amplitude and frequency can be estimated to an accuracy of 10\% to 1\%.

Gravitational waves from super-Hubble bubbles
Super-Hubble bubbles nucleated in inflation and colliding soon after can shift GW peak frequency down and boost amplitude enough to enter LIGO/LISA/PTA bands.

Theoretical uncertainties in reconstructing model parameters with gravitational waves from supercooled phase transitions
In the conformal U(1)_X model, the daisy-resummed nucleation scheme shifts LISA-reconstructed gauge couplings by O(10%) relative to the NLO effective-field-theory result, an order of magnitude above the Fisher-matrix ...

Inferring the stochastic gravitational-wave background from eccentric stellar-mass binary black holes with spaceborne detectors
Eccentric black-hole-binary backgrounds from globular clusters and isolated evolution would look like power-law noise for TianQin/LISA/Taiji, but AGN-formed binaries produce a turnover that LISA and Taiji can distinguish.

Inflationary phase transitions in the early Universe: A Bayesian study with space-based gravitational-wave detectors
With a Taiji-like detector, inflationary phase-transition gravitational-wave backgrounds are detectable at SNR≳10, but reliable parameter reconstruction needs SNR≳33 and degrades with astrophysical foregrounds.
