Title: A preferred mass range for primordial black hole formation and black holes as dark matter revisited

Abstract

Bird et al. [1] and Sasaki et al. [2] have recently proposed the intriguing possibility that the black holes detected by LIGO could be all or part of the cosmological dark matter. This offers an alternative to WIMPs and axions, where dark matter could be comprised solely of Standard Model particles. The mass range lies within an observationally viable window and the predicted merger rate can be tested by future LIGO observations. In this paper, we argue that non-thermal histories favor production of black holes near this mass range — with heavier ones unlikely to form in the early universe and lighter black holes being diluted through late-time entropy production. We discuss how this prediction depends on the primordial power spectrum, the likelihood of black hole formation, and the underlying model parameters. We find the prediction for the preferred mass range to be rather robust assuming a blue spectral index less than two. Here, we consider the resulting relic density in black holes, and using recent observational constraints, establish whether they could account for all of the dark matter today.

Primordial black holes and Co-Decaying dark matter

Journal Article Georg, Julian ; Melcher, Brandon ; Watson, Scott - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

Models of Co-Decaying dark matter lead to an early matter dominated epoch – prior to BBN – which results in an enhancement of the growth of dark matter substructure. If these primordial structures collapse further they can form primordial black holes providing an additional dark matter candidate. We derive the mass fraction in these black holes (which is not monochromatic) and consider observational constraints on how much of the dark matter could be comprised in these relics. We find that in many cases they can be a significant fraction of the dark matter. Interestingly, the masses of these black holesmore »« less

Gravitational wave background from mergers of large primordial black holes

Journal Article Deng, Heling - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

The Peters formula, which tells how the coalescence time of a binary system emitting gravitational radiation is determined by the initial size and shape of the elliptic orbit, is often used in estimating the merger rate of primordial black holes and the gravitational wave background from the mergers. Valid as it is in some interesting scenarios, such as the analysis of the LIGO-Virgo events, the Peters formula fails to describe the coalescence time if the orbital period of the binary exceeds the value given by the formula. This could underestimate the event rate of mergers that occur before the cosmic time t ~ 10¹³ s. As a result, the energy density spectrum of the gravitational wave background could develop a peak, which is from mergers occurring at either t ~ 10¹³ s (for black holes with mass M ≳ 10⁸ M_⊙) or t ~ 10²⁶(M/M_⊙)^-5/3 s (for 10⁵ M_⊙ ≲ M ≲ 10⁸ M_⊙). This can be used to constrain the fraction of dark matter in primordial black holes (denoted by f) if potential probes (such as SKA and U-DECIGO) do not discover such a background, with the result f ≲ 10^-6–10^-4 for the mass range 10– 10⁹ M_⊙. We then consider the effect of mass accretion onto primordial black holes at redshift z ~ 10, and find that the merger rate could drop significantly at low redshifts. The spectrum of the gravitational wave background thus gets suppressed at the high-frequency end. This feature might be captured by future detectors such as ET and CE for initial mass M = Scriptmore »« less

Solar mass primordial black holes in moduli dominated universe

Journal Article Bhattacharya, Sukannya ; Das, Anirban ; Dutta, Koushik - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

In this report we explore the prospect of producing primordial black holes around the solar mass region during an early matter domination epoch. The early matter-dominated epoch can arise when a moduli field comes to dominate the energy density of the Universe prior to big bang nucleosynthesis. The absence of radiation pressure during a matter-dominated epoch enhances primordial black hole formation from the gravitational collapse of primordial density fluctuations. In particular, we find that primordial black holes are produced in the 0.1 - 10M^⊙ mass range with a favorable choice of parameters in the theory. However, they cannot explain allmore »« less

Disentangling the Potential Dark Matter Origin of LIGO’s Black Holes

Journal Article Magee, Ryan ; Hanna, Chad - Astrophysical Journal Letters

The nature of dark matter (DM) remains one of the biggest open questions in physics. One intriguing DM candidate, primordial black holes (PBHs), has faced renewed interest following the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory’s (LIGO) detection of gravitational waves from merging stellar mass black holes. While subsequent work has ruled out the possibility that DM could consist solely of black holes similar to those that LIGO has detected with masses above 10 M{sub ⊙}, LIGO’s connection to DM remains unknown. In this work, we consider a distribution of PBHs that accounts for all of the DM, is consistent with all ofmore »« less

Primordial black hole formation by vacuum bubbles. Part II

Journal Article Deng, Heling - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

The discoveries of LIGO/Virgo black holes in recent years have revitalized the study of primordial black holes. In this work we investigate a mechanism where primordial black holes are formed by vacuum bubbles that randomly nucleate during inflation through quantum tunneling. After inflation, these bubbles typically run into the ambient radiation fluid with a large Lorentz factor. In our previous work, we assumed the bubble fields are strongly coupled to the standard model particles so that the bubble wall is impermeable. Here we complete this picture by considering bubbles interacting with the fluid only through gravity. By studying the scenariomore »« less
