Welcome to TransitionListener’s documentation!¶
TransitionListener is a tool for simulating and analyzing cosmological first-order phase transitions and gravitational wave signals.
TransitionListener is an open-source Python package designed to facilitate the analysis of Standard Model extensions that feature first-order phase transitions in the early universe. It provides tools to compute the tunneling path of the scalar field(s), the thermodynamic parameters of the phase transition, and the resulting gravitational wave spectrum. TransitionListener also includes functionalities for scanning parameter spaces and visualizing results.
For a detailed list of capabilities, see the Features page.
