BubbleDet: a Python package to compute functional determinants for bubble nucleation

Abstract We present a Python package BubbleDet for computing one-loop functional determinants around spherically symmetric background fields. This gives the next-to-leading order correction to both the vacuum decay rate, at zero temperature, and to the bubble nucleation rate in first-order phase tra...
