| contents | Primordial black holes still represent a viable candidate for a significant fraction, if not for the totality, of dark matter. If these compact objects have masses of order tens of solar masses, their coalescence can be observed by current and future ground-based gravitational wave detectors. Therefore, finding new gravitational wave signatures associated with this dark matter candidate can either lead to their detection or help constraining their abundance. In this work we consider the phenomenology of primordial black holes in dense environments, in particular globular clusters. We model the internal structure of globular clusters in a semi-analytical fashion, and we derive the expected merger rate. We show that, if primordial black holes are present in globular clusters, their contribution to the GW background can be comparable to other well-known channels, such as early- and late-time binaries, thus enhancing the detectability prospects of primordial black holes and demonstrating that this contribution needs to be taken into account. |
