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…
Bubble Correlation in First-Order Phase Transitions
V. De Luca, G. Franciolini, A. Riotto
Making use of both the stochastic approach to the tunneling phenomenon and the threshold statistics, we offer a simple argument to show that critical bubbles may be correlated in f…
Detecting Subsolar-Mass Primordial Black Holes in Extreme Mass-Ratio Inspirals with LISA and Einstein Telescope
Susanna Barsanti, Valerio De Luca, Andrea Maselli +1
Primordial black holes possibly formed in the early universe could provide a significant fraction of the dark matter and would be unique probes of inflation. A smoking gun for thei…
The Minimum Testable Abundance of Primordial Black Holes at Future Gravitational-Wave Detectors
V. De Luca, G. Franciolini, P. Pani +1
The next generation of gravitational-wave experiments, such as Einstein Telescope, Cosmic Explorer and LISA, will test the primordial black hole scenario. We provide a forecast for…
Searching for a subpopulation of primordial black holes in LIGO/Virgo gravitational-wave data
Gabriele Franciolini, Vishal Baibhav, Valerio De Luca +6
With several dozen binary black hole events detected by LIGO/Virgo to date and many more expected in the next few years, gravitational-wave astronomy is shifting from individual-ev…
