Description
The logarithmic linear relaxation (LLR) method is a density of states method that can precisely determine thermodynamic properties of first order phase transitions, by analysing the micro-canonical structure of both the stable and meta-stable branches of the transition. This is method has become particularly interesting in the context of first order confinement transitions at finite temperature in beyond the standard model physics, due to potential links to gravitational wave physics through bubble nucleation in the meta-stable vacuum. In this contribution I will discuss the algorithmic details of our collaborations implementation of the LLR method and discuss possible future directions.
