We study the dynamics of black holes within dense globular clusters.To improve upon previous results,we have developed a new technique which combines the precision of Nbody codes with the speed of the Monte Carlo technique.Our hybrid Monte Carlo code models two-body relaxation between stars and binaries while the orbits of the black holes are integrated directly.This allows us to consider the dynamics of the black holes in a realistic globular cluster environment.We consider the number of black holes retained over the lifetime of the cluster,as well as the formation and properties of dynamically formed binary black holes.We explore the population of synthesized binary black holes and the implications for advanced gravitational-wave detectors.
