abstract = "A possible detection of sub-solar mass ultra-compact objects would
lead to new perspectives on the existence of black holes that are
not of astrophysical origin and/or pertain to formation scenarios
of exotic ultra-compact objects. Both possibilities open new
perspectives for better understanding of our universe. In this
work, we investigate the significance of detection of sub-solar
mass binaries with components mass in the range: 10\−2
M\⊙ up to 1M\⊙, within the expected sensitivity of
the ground-based gravitational waves detectors of third
generation, viz., the Einstein Telescope (ET) and the Cosmic
Explorer (CE). Assuming a minimum of amplitude signal-to-noise
ratio for detection, viz., \ρ = 8, we find that the maximum
horizon distances for an ultra-compact binary system with
components mass 10\−2 M\⊙ and 1M\⊙ are 40 Mpc
and 1.89 Gpc, respectively, for ET, and 125 Mpc and 5.8 Gpc,
respectively, for CE. Other cases are also presented in the text.
We derive the merger rate and discuss consequences on the
abundances of primordial black hole (PBH), fPBH. Considering the
entire mass range [10\−2 1]M\⊙, we find fPBH < 0.70
(<0.06) for ET (CE), respectively.",
