We investigate the primordial curvature perturbation by the observation of dark matter substructure. Assuming a bump in the spectrum of the curvature perturbation in the wavenumber of k>1 Mpc^{-1}, we track the evolution of the host halo and subhalos in a semi-analytic way. Taking into account possible uncertainties in the evaluation of the tidal stripping effect on the subhalo growth, we find a new robust bound on the curvature perturbation with a bump from the number of observed dwarf spheroidal galaxies in our Galaxy and the observations of the stellar stream. The upper limit on the amplitude of the bump is O(10^{-7}) for k~10^3 Mpc^{-1}. Furthermore we find the boost factor, which is crucial for the indirect detection of dark matter signals, is up to O(10^4) due to the bump that is allowed in the current observational bounds.

  1. Probing small-scale power spectrum with gravitational-wave diffractive lensing

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Gravitational-wave diffractive lensing, combined statistically across many events, can map the small-scale matter power spectrum through a new frequency-to-scale relation.

  2. A lower bound on primordial power spectrum from halo substructure

    Galactic halo substructure requires primordial curvature perturbations of amplitude ≳10^-9 at wavenumbers 10–30 Mpc^-1.

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Wide binaries in Boötes I exclude dark-matter fractions down to ~10^-3 to 10^-2 for extended dark objects between 0.1 and 3000 solar masses with radii up to 10^7 solar radii, implying P_R ≲ 5×10^-6 at k ≈ 4×10^2-3×10^...
