LISA Definition Study Report

Monica Colpi, Karsten Danzmann, Martin Hewitson +108

The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is the first scientific endeavour to detect and study gravitational waves from space. LISA will survey the sky for Gravitational Waves…

Stochastic gravitational-wave background at 3G detectors as a smoking gun for microscopic dark matter relics

G. Franciolini, P. Pani

Microscopic horizonless relics could form in the early universe either directly through gravitational collapse or as stable remnants of the Hawking evaporation of primordial black…

From inflation to black hole mergers and back again: Gravitational-wave data-driven constraints on inflationary scenarios with a first-principle model of primordial black holes across the QCD epoch

G. Franciolini, I. Musco, P. Pani +1

Recent population studies have searched for a subpopulation of primordial black holes (PBHs) in the gravitational-wave (GW) events so far detected by LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA (LVK), in mos…

Constraining high-redshift stellar-mass primordial black holes with next-generation ground-based gravitational-wave detectors

Ken K. Y. Ng, Gabriele Franciolini, Emanuele Berti +3

The possible existence of primordial black holes in the stellar mass window has received considerable attention because their mergers may contribute to current and future gravitati…

How to assess the primordial origin of single gravitational-wave events with mass, spin, eccentricity, and deformability measurements

Gabriele Franciolini, Roberto Cotesta, Nicholas Loutrel +3

A population of primordial black holes formed in the early Universe could contribute to at least a fraction of the black-hole merger events detectable by current and future gravita…

Primordial Black Holes in Matter-Dominated Eras: the Role of Accretion

V. De Luca, G. Franciolini, A. Kehagias +2

We consider the role of secondary infall and accretion onto an initially overdense perturbation in matter-dominated eras, like the one which is likely to follow the end of inflatio…
