Confronting the primordial black hole scenario with the gravitational-wave events detected by LIGO-Virgo
Adopting a binned method, we model-independently reconstruct the mass function of primordial black holes (PBHs) from GWTC-3 and find that such a PBH mass function can be explained by a broad red-tilted power spectrum of curvature perturbations if all the events (or the small effective spin events) h...
