In many braneworld models, gravity is largely modified at the electro-weak scale ~ 1TeV. In such models, primordial black holes (PBHs) with lunar mass M ~ 10^{-7}M_sun might have been produced when the temperature of the universe was at ~ 1TeV. If a significant fraction of the dark halo of our galaxy consists of these lunar mass PBHs, a huge number of BH binaries will exist in our neighborhood. Third generation detectors such as EURO can detect gravitational waves from these binaries, and can also determine their chirp mass. With a new detector designed to be sensitive at high frequency bands greater than 1 kHz, the existence of extradimensions could be confirmed.
