The abundance of primordial black holes is currently significantly constrained in a wide range of masses. The weakest limits are established for the small mass objects, where the small intensity of the associated physical phenomenon provides a challenge for current experiments. We used gamma-ray bursts with known redshifts detected by the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor to search for the femtolensing effects caused by compact objects. The lack of femtolensing detection in the data provides new evidence that primordial black holes in the mass range 10 17 - 10 20 g do not constitute a major fraction of dark matter.

- Primordial black hole dark matter from single field inflation (2017, background): “The limits that are currently available in the literature for these PBHs come from neutron star capture in globular clusters (NS) [20], white dwarfs explosions (WD) [19], femtolensing of gamma-ray bursts (Femto) [18] and microlensing from Subaru (HSC) [21].”
