Theory Division“Lensing of gravitational waves as a probe of compact dark matter by Juan Urrutia and Ville Vaskonen has been uploaded to arXiv.
In this paper a constraint on the abundance of compact dark matter objects is derived from non-observation of lensed gravitational wave events by LIGO-Virgo, and corresponding prospects for the design sensitivities of LIGO and ET are studied.
