Primordial black holes and their gravitational-wave signatures

E Bagui, S Clesse, V De Luca, JM Ezquiaga… - Living Reviews in …, 2025 - Springer
In the recent years, primordial black holes (PBHs) have emerged as one of the most
interesting and hotly debated topics in cosmology. Among other possibilities, PBHs could …

Probing primordial black hole scenarios with terrestrial gravitational wave detectors

G Domènech, M Sasaki - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
It is possible that primordial black holes (PBHs) constitute (or constituted) a significant
fraction of the energy budget of our Universe. Terrestrial gravitational wave detectors offer …

Novel search for high-frequency gravitational waves with low-mass axion haloscopes

V Domcke, C Garcia-Cely, NL Rodd - Physical review letters, 2022 - APS
Gravitational waves (GWs) generate oscillating electromagnetic effects in the vicinity of
external electric and magnetic fields. We discuss this phenomenon with a particular focus on …

Hunt for light primordial black hole dark matter with ultrahigh-frequency gravitational waves

G Franciolini, A Maharana, F Muia - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
Light primordial black holes may comprise a dominant fraction of the dark matter in our
Universe. This paper critically assesses whether planned and future gravitational wave …

Electromagnetic cavities as mechanical bars for gravitational waves

A Berlin, D Blas, RT d'Agnolo, SAR Ellis, R Harnik… - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
Superconducting cavities can operate analogously to Weber bar detectors of gravitational
waves, converting mechanical to electromagnetic energy. The significantly reduced …

Graviton detection and the quantization of gravity

D Carney, V Domcke, NL Rodd - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We revisit a question asked by Dyson:“Is a graviton detectable?” We demonstrate that in
both Dyson's original sense and in a more modern measurement-theoretic sense, it is …

The primordial black holes that disappeared: connections to dark matter and MHz-GHz gravitational Waves

TC Gehrman, BSE Haghi, K Sinha… - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
In the post-LIGO era, there has been a lot of focus on primordial black holes (PBHs) heavier
than∼ 10 15 g as potential dark matter (DM) candidates. We point out that the branch of the …

Cavity detection of gravitational waves: Where do we stand?

C Gatti, L Visinelli, M Zantedeschi - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
High-frequency gravitational waves (HFGWs) are predicted in various exotic scenarios
involving both cosmological and astrophysical sources. These elusive signals have recently …

High-frequency gravitational wave detection via optical frequency modulation

T Bringmann, V Domcke, E Fuchs, J Kopp - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
High frequency gravitational waves can be detected by observing the frequency modulation
they impart on photons. We discuss fundamental limitations to this method related to the fact …

Baryogenesis, primordial black holes and MHz–GHz gravitational waves

TC Gehrman, BSE Haghi, K Sinha… - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
Gravitational waves (GWs) in the MHz–GHz frequency range are motivated by a host of early
Universe phenomena such as oscillons, preheating, and cosmic strings. We point out that …
