Abstract

Conditions for strong first-order phase transition and generation of observable gravitational wave (GW) signals are very restrictive to the profile of the Higgs potential. Working in the minimal extension of the SM with a new gauge singlet real scalar, we show that the production of signals relevant for future GW experiments, such as LISA, can favor depleted resonant and non-resonant di-Higgs rates at colliders for phenomenologically relevant regimes of scalar mixing angles and masses for the heavy scalar. We perform a comprehensive study on the emergence of these di-Higgs blind spot configurations in GWs and also show that di-boson channels, ZZ and WW, can restore the phenomenological complementarities between GW and collider experiments in these parameter space regimes.
