abstract = {The thermal freeze-out mechanism in its classical form is
tightly connected to physicsbeyond the Standard Model around
the electroweak scale, which has been the target of
enormousexperimental efforts. In this work we study a dark
matter model in which freeze-out is triggeredby a strong
first-order phase transition in a dark sector, and show that
this phase transitionmust also happen close to the
electroweak scale, i.e. in the temperature range relevant
forgravitational wave searches with the LISA mission.
Specifically, we consider the spontaneousbreaking of a
U(1)′ gauge symmetry through the vacuum expectation value
of a scalar field,which generates the mass of a fermionic
dark matter candidate that subsequently annihilates intodark
Higgs and gauge bosons. In this set-up the peak frequency of
the gravitational wavebackground is tightly correlated with
the dark matter relic abundance, and imposing the
observedvalue for the latter implies that the former must
lie in the milli-Hertz range. A peculiar featureof our
set-up is that the dark sector is not necessarily in thermal
equilibrium with the StandardModel during the phase
transition, and hence the temperatures of the two sectors
evolveindependently. Nevertheless, the requirement that the
universe does not enter an extended periodof matter
domination after the phase transition, which would strongly
dilute any gravitationalwave signal, places a lower bound on
the portal coupling that governs the entropy transfer
betweenthe two sectors. As a result, the predictions for the
peak frequency of gravitational waves in theLISA band are
robust, while the amplitude can change depending on the
initial dark sectortemperature.},
