The main interface is transitionlistener.interface. TransitionListener also provides several other modules for specific tasks, which are documented below.

Essential modules:

• transitionlistener.bubbledynamics: Computation of the transition dynamics, including bubble nucleation rate, bubble growth, and phase transition completion.

• transitionlistener.geff: Calculation of the effective number of relativistic degrees of freedom as a function of temperature.

• transitionlistener.generic_potential: Model-independent potential definitions and utilities.

• transitionlistener.gwfopt: Gravitational-wave spectra from first-order phase transitions.

• transitionlistener.hydrodynamics: Computation of bubble wall velocity and fluid profiles for efficiency factor calculations.

• transitionlistener.interface: Main interface class for TransitionListener.

• transitionlistener.observability: Computation of the observability of gravitational-wave signals at various detectors.

• transitionlistener.pathDeformation: Tunneling pathfinding and bubble profile calculations using the path deformation method.
