Gravity Waves as a Probe of Hubble Expansion Rate During An Electroweak
  Scale Phase Transition
  Just as big bang nucleosynthesis allows us to probe the expansion rate when
the temperature of the universe was around 1 MeV, the measurement of gravity
waves from electroweak scale first order phase transitions may allow us to
probe the expansion rate when the temperature of the universe was at the
electroweak scale. We compute the simple transformation rule for the gravity
wave spectrum under the scaling transformation of the Hubble expansion rate. We
then apply this directly to the scenario of quintessence kination domination
and show how gravity wave spectra would shift relative to LISA and BBO
projected sensitivities.
