We clarify the most efficient way of calculating bubble wall velocities, with a systematic way of implementing the entropy conservation approach with the general equation of state. We numerically confirm the local thermal equilibrium approximation and investigate the parameter dependencies of it. We comment on the impact on the baryogenesis and gravitational waves.

Widen the Resonance: Probing a New Regime of Neutrino Self-Interactions with Astrophysical Neutrinos
With one neutrino flavor still being relativistic today, the resonance of the scattering between incoming DSNB neutrino and cosmic neutrino background can be significantly widened. The distortion of the DSNB spectrum can thus be used to probe a much wider parameter space of neutrino self-interaction. We show that a mediator at eV scale can be probed with the coupling to neutrino as low as $10^{-8}$.
