Primordial Black Holes as Dark Matter

By B. Carr, Florian Kuhnel, M. Sandstad. 2016

170 citations recorded by the source corpus.

The possibility that the dark matter comprises primordial black holes (PBHs) is considered, with particular emphasis on the currently allowed mass windows at 10(16)-10(17) g, 10(20)-10(24) g and 1- ...
