Confronting primordial black holes with LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA and the Einstein Telescope
arXiv:2402.03934 · doi:10.1007/978-981-97-8887-3_25
Abstract
The detection of gravitational waves (GWs) from binary black hole (BBH) coalescences by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) Collaboration has raised fundamental questions about the genesis of these events. In this chapter, we explore the possibility that PBHs, proposed candidates for dark matter, may serve as the progenitors of the BBHs observed by LVK. Employing a Bayesian analysis, we constrain the PBH model using the LVK third GW Transient Catalog (GWTC-3), revealing that stellar-mass PBHs cannot dominate cold dark matter. Considering a mixed population of astrophysical black holes (ABHs) and PBHs, we determine that approximately of the detectable events in the GWTC-3 can be attributed to PBH binaries. We also forecast detectable event rate distributions for PBH and ABH binaries by the third-generation ground-based GW detectors, such as the Einstein Telescope, offering a potential avenue to distinguish PBHs from ABHs based on their distinct redshift evolutions.
