论文摘要
检测非没应物理起源的引力波信号将是一个具有里程碑意义的发现，这可能为我们关于宇宙的一些最基本的大型科学问题提供了重要的线索。在这份白皮书中，我们调查了可能产生可检测信号的主要早期宇宙机制，包括通货膨胀，相变，拓扑缺陷以及原始黑洞 - 并突出与基本物理学的联系。我们回顾了对撞机搜索新物理学的互补性，以及对宇宙大规模结构的多通文探针。
Detection of a gravitational-wave signal of non-astrophysical origin would be a landmark discovery, potentially providing a significant clue to some of our most basic, big-picture scientific questions about the Universe. In this white paper, we survey the leading early-Universe mechanisms that may produce a detectable signal -- including inflation, phase transitions, topological defects, as well as primordial black holes -- and highlight the connections to fundamental physics. We review the complementarity with collider searches for new physics, and multimessenger probes of the large-scale structure of the Universe.
