Abstract Based on the gauge symmetry group SU(3) C ⨂ SU(2) L ⨂ U(1) Y ⨂ U(1) B–L , the minimal supersymmetric extension of the SM with local B-L gauge symmetry(B-LSSM) has been introduced. In this model, we study the Higgs masses with the one-loop zero temperature effective potential corrections. Besides, the finite temperature effective potentials connected with two U(1) B-L Higgs singlets are deduced specifically. Then we can obtain the gravitational wave spectrums generated from the strong first-order phase transition. In the B-LSSM, with the fine-tuned parameter regions, we can obtain the strength parameter α θ ~ 0.14 and the ratio of speed to Hubble rate β/H n ~ 5 at nucleation temperature, and then obtain observable gravitational wave signals. The gravitational wave signals can be as strong as h 2Ω GW ~ 10–9, which may be detectable in the future experiments.
