Constraints on primordial black holes

B Carr, K Kohri, Y Sendouda… - Reports on Progress in …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We update the constraints on the fraction of the Universe that may have gone into primordial
black holes (PBHs) over the mass range 10− 5 to 10 50 g. Those smaller than∼ 10 15 g …

Primordial black holes and their gravitational-wave signatures

E Bagui, S Clesse, V De Luca, JM Ezquiaga… - Living Reviews in …, 2025 - Springer

Constraints on scalar-induced gravitational waves up to third order from a joint analysis of BBN, CMB, and PTA data

S Wang, ZC Zhao, QH Zhu - Physical Review Research, 2024 - APS
Recently, strong evidence for a gravitational-wave background has been reported by
collaborations of pulsar timing arrays (PTAs). In the framework of scalar-induced …

Primordial black hole constraints with Hawking radiation—A review

J Auffinger - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2023 - Elsevier
Primordial black holes are under intense scrutiny since the detection of gravitational waves
from mergers of Solar-mass black holes in 2015. More recently, the development of …
