abstract

Primordial black holes can represent all or most of the dark matter in the window $10^{17}-10^{22}\,$g. Here we present an extension of the constraints on PBHs of masses $10^{13}-10^{18}\,$g arising from the isotropic diffuse gamma ray background. Primordial black holes evaporate by emitting Hawking radiation that should not exceed the observed background. Generalizing from monochromatic distributions of Schwarzschild black holes to extended mass functions of Kerr rotating black holes, we show that the lower part of this mass window can be closed for near-extremal black holes.

  1. The fast, the slow and the merging: probes of evaporating memory burdened PBHs

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Diffuse gamma-ray and neutrino data, plus CMB ionization limits, constrain the memory-burden parameters k, q, and delta for primordial black holes and narrow viable dark matter masses to a broad but testable window.

  2. Antinuclei from Primordial Black Holes

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    AMS-02 antiproton data set the tightest limits yet on Galactic primordial black holes with lognormal mass distributions, and cap the expected antideuteron flux below the reach of upcoming detectors.

  3. Machine Learning-Based Analytical Expressions for Gray-Body Factors and Application to Primordial Black Holes

    astro-ph.CO 2025-04 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Symbolic regression is used to derive compact error-function approximations for Schwarzschild gray-body factors, and the approximations reproduce the Hawking spectra and primordial black hole constraints from full num...

  4. Page Time of Primordial Black Holes in the Standard Model and Beyond

    astro-ph.CO 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For Standard Model emission, a Schwarzschild primordial black hole of about 6.23 x 10^14 grams would reach its Page time at the current age of the Universe.

  5. Refining primordial black hole dark matter constraints with dust heating: the role of spin and halo profile dependence

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Dust-heating constraints on PBH dark matter tighten to f_PBH ≈ 10^-4 when PBH spin is included, with the strongest limits for the Isothermal halo profile and weakest for Burkert.
