Abstract

The process of \acp{PBH} formation would be inevitably accompanied by \acp{SIGW}. This strong correlation between \acp{PBH} and \acp{SIGW} signals could be a promising approach to detecting \acp{PBH} in the upcoming \ac{GW} experiments, such as \ac{LISA}. We investigate the third order \acp{SIGW} during a \ac{RD} era in the case of a monochromatic primordial power spectrum Pζ=Aζkδ(kk)\mathcal{P}_{\zeta}=A_{\zeta}k_*\delta\left(k-k_*\right). For \ac{LISA} observations, the relations between \ac{SNR} and monochromatic primordial power spectrum are studied systematically. It shows that the effects of third order \acp{SIGW} extend the cutoff frequency from 2f2f_* to 3f3f_* and lead to about 200%200\% increase of the \ac{SNR} for frequency band from 10510^{-5}Hz to 1.6×1031.6\times 10^{-3}Hz corresponding to \acp{PBH} with mass range 4×1012M107M4\times 10^{-12}M_{\odot} \sim 10^{-7}M_{\odot}. We find that there exists a critical value A=1.76×102A_*=1.76\times 10^{-2} for the amplitude of the monochromatic primordial power spectra, such that when Aζ>AA_{\zeta}>A_*, the energy density of third order \acp{SIGW} will be larger than the energy density of second order \acp{SIGW}.
