Description
The space-borne interferometer LISA will be sensitive to a variety of mechanisms sourcing gravitational waves in the late and early universe. In this talk we present the status of the LISA mission and summarize the science that LISA will achieve. We discuss in some detail the measurements that will allow LISA to probe BSM physics and cosmology. Particular attention will be dedicated to the gravitational-wave signatures predicted in models with first-order phase transitions, and how well LISA will constrain such signatures.
