摘要
As a candidate bound for the Binary Black Hole(BBH) merger events detected by LIGO/Virgo, Primordial Black Holes(PBHs)provide a useful tool to investigate the primordial curvature perturbations on small scales. Using the GWTC-1 to GWTC-3 catalogs, under the scenario that PBHs originate from large primordial curvature perturbations on small scales during infiationary epoch, we for the first time reconstruct the power spectrum of primordial curvature perturbations on small scales. It is found that the value of the amplitude of the primordial power spectrum is enhanced to O(10-2)on scales O(1) pc. This may imply the validity of PBH as a possible BBH merger candidate.
