Imprint of a scalar era on the primordial spectrum of gravitational waves

Upcoming searches for the stochastic background of inflationary gravitational waves (GWs) offer the exciting possibility to probe the evolution of our Universe prior to big bang nucleosynthesis. In this spirit, we explore the sensitivity of future GW observations to a broad class of beyond-the-stand...
