Stochastic Particle Production in Gravitational Wave Physics

Watch a 39-minute lecture on stochastic particle production delivered by Raghuveer Garani at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences as part of a program exploring gravitational waves beyond the standard model. Delve into fundamental physics concepts related to gravitational wave detection, focusing on how stochastic particle production contributes to our understanding of cosmological phenomena. Learn about the connection between particle physics and gravitational waves in the context of inflation, primordial black holes, phase transitions, and topological defects. Explore how recent discoveries by collaborations like NANO-Grav and InPTA provide evidence for Stochastic Gravitational Wave Background (SGWB), offering insights into high-scale physics that may be unreachable through conventional experiments.
