Primordial black holes from slow phase transitions: a model-building perspective

Primordial black holes from slow phase transitions: a model-building perspective

We investigate the formation of primordial black holes (PBHs) through delayed vacuum decay during slow cosmic first-order phase transitions. Two specific models, the polynomial potential and the real singlet extension of the Standard Model, are used as illustrative examples. Our findings reveal that models with zero-temperature scalar potential barriers are …
