| contents | We investigate how the next generation gravitational-wave (GW) detectors, such as Einstein Telescope (ET) and Cosmic Explorer (CE), can be used to distinguish primordial black holes (PBHs) from astrophysical black holes (ABHs). Since a direct detection of sub-solar mass black holes can be taken as the smoking gun for PBHs, we figure out the detectable limits of the abundance of sub-solar mass PBHs in cold dark matter by the targeted search for sub-solar mass PBH binaries and binaries containing a sub-solar mass PBH and a super-solar mass PBH, respectively. On the other hand, according to the different redshift evolutions of merger rate for PBH binaries and ABH binaries, we forecast the detectable event rate distributions for the PBH binaries and ABH binaries by ET and CE respectively, which can serve as a method to distinguish super-solar mass PBHs from ABHs. |
