A cosmic first-order phase transition (FOPT) occurring at MeV-scale provides an attractive explanation for the nano-Hertz gravitational wave (GW) background indicated by the recent pulsar timing array data from the NANOGrav, CPTA, EPTA and PPTA collaborations. We propose this explanation can be further tested at the colliders if the hidden sector couples to the Standard Model sector via Higgs portal. Through a careful analysis of the thermal history of the hidden sector, we demonstrate that in order to successfully explain the observed GW signal, the portal coupling must be sizable that it can be probed through Higgs invisible decay at the LHC or future lepton colliders such as CEPC, ILC, and FCC-ee. Our research offers a promising avenue to uncover the physical origin of the nano-Hertz GWs through particle physics experiments.

  1. Neutron Portal and Dark Matter-Baryon Coincidence: from UV Completion to Phenomenology

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A UV-complete neutron portal model dynamically solves the dark matter-baryon coincidence via a supercooled dark confinement transition that generates GeV-scale asymmetric DM and links to observed gravitational waves.

  2. Constraints on the inflationary vacuum and reheating era from NANOGrav

    NANOGrav data favors a blue-tilted tensor spectrum with nt ≈ 2.2, radiation-dominated reheating, and alpha-vacuum states over standard Bunch-Davies, with a frequency-dependent alpha suggested to resolve the blue-tilt tension.
