Twin-peaked gravitational wave signals from a Z 2 phase transition

The study investigates twin-peaked gravitational wave signals arising from a dark sector phase transition. If this transition is first-order, it produces two distinct GW peaks: one from the transition dynamics and another from biased domain wall annihilation. This links cosmological events to observable gravitational waves and provides constraints on dark matter models.
