Gravitational waves from sub-lunar-mass primordial black-hole binaries: a new probe of extradimensions.

In many brane world models, gravity is largely modified at the electroweak scale approximately 1 TeV. In such models, primordial black holes (PBHs) with a lunar mass M approximately 10(-7)M([circle dot]) might have been produced when the temperature of the Universe was at approximately 1 TeV. If a significant fraction of the dark halo of our galaxy consists of these lunar mass PBHs, a huge number of BH binaries will exist in our neighborhood. Third generation detectors such as EURO can detect gravitational waves from these binaries, and can also determine their chirp mass. With a new detector designed to be sensitive at high frequency bands greater, similar 1 kHz, the existence of extradimensions could be confirmed.
