摘要
Compared to primordial perturbations on large scales, roughly larger than 1 Mpc, those on smaller scales are not severely constrained. We revisit the issue of probing small-scale primordial perturbations using gravitational waves (GWs), based on the fact that, when large-amplitude primordial perturbations on small scales exist, GWs with relatively large amplitudes are induced at second order in scalar perturbations, and these induced GWs can be probed by both existing and planned gravitational-wave projects. We use accurate methods to calculate these induced GWs and take into account sensitivities of different experiments to induced GWs carefully, to report existing and expected limits on the small-scale primordial spectrum.
