Double inflation as a single origin of primordial black holes for all dark matter and LIGO observations
Abstract
Primordial Black Hole (PBH) is one of the leading non-particle candidates for dark matter (DM). Although several observations severely constrain the amount of PBHs, it is recently pointed out that there is an uncertainty on the microlensing constraints below 10-10 M which was ignored originally but may weaken the constraints significantly. In this paper, facing this uncertainty, we investigate the possibility that PBHs can make up all DM in a broad mass spectrum. Moreover, we propose a concrete inflation model which can simultaneously produce PBHs for all DM in a broad mass spectrum around O(10-13) M and PBHs for LIGO events in a sharp mass spectrum at O(10) M.
