Gravitational wave background as a probe of the primordial black hole abundance
read the original abstract
Formation of significant number of primordial black holes (PBHs) is realized if and only if primordial density fluctuations have a large amplitude, which means that tensor perturbations generated from these scalar perturbations as a second order effect are also large and comparable to the observational data. We show that pulsar timing observation could find/rule out PBHs with \sim 10^2 M_solar which are considered as a candidate of intermediate-mass black holes and that PBHs with mass range 10^{20-26} g, which serves as a candidate of dark matter, may be probed by future space-based laser interferometers and atomic interferometers.

Constraints on the Primordial Black Hole Abundance using Pulsar Parameter Drifts
The first search for scalar-induced gravitational waves via pulsar parameter drifts yields f_PBH < 10^{-10} (95% CL) for PBH masses 0.3 to 4e4 solar masses, strongly disfavoring a primordial black hole origin for LVK ...
