The Nonlinear Tails in Black Hole Ringdown: the Scattering Perspective

A. Ianniccari, L. Lo Bianco, A. Riotto

Black holes regain their static configuration by emitting ringdown gravitational waves, whose amplitude decays in time following a power law at fixed spatial positions. We show tha…

Searching for Primordial Black Holes with the Einstein Telescope: impact of design and systematics

G. Franciolini, F. Iacovelli, M. Mancarella +3

Primordial Black Holes (PBHs) have recently attracted much attention as they may explain some of the LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA observations and significantly contribute to the dark matter i…

The GW190521 Mass Gap Event and the Primordial Black Hole Scenario

V. De Luca, V. Desjacques, G. Franciolini +2

The LIGO/Virgo Collaboration has recently observed GW190521, the first binary black hole merger with at least the primary component mass in the mass gap predicted by the pair-insta…

Can AMS-02 discriminate the origin of an anti-proton signal?

Valeria Pettorino, Giorgio Busoni, Andrea De Simone +3

Indirect searches can be used to test dark matter models against expected signals in various channels, in particular antiprotons. With antiproton data available soon at higher and…

The Effect of Local non-Gaussianity on the Matter Bispectrum at Small Scales

D. G. Figueroa, E. Sefusatti, A. Riotto +1

We compute the matter bispectrum in the presence of primordial local non-Gaussianity over a wide range of scales, including the very small nonlinear ones. We use the Halo Model app…

Generating the Curvature Perturbation at the End of Inflation in String Theory

D. H. Lyth, A. Riotto

In brane inflationary scenarios, the cosmological perturbations are supposed to originate from the vacuum fluctuations of the inflaton field corresponding to the position of the br…
