1 Primordial Black Holes in Cosmology Lecture 3 : Constraints on their existence Massimo Ricotti (University of Maryland, USA) 23/10/2017

2 Astrophysical Constraints Microlensing Macho, EROS, etc UCMHs: lensing, astrometry, DM annihilation Dynamical constraints Power spectrum Dynamical heating (halo binaries and dwarfs) Gravitational waves from binary PBHs Capture Primordial binaries Effects on CMB, reionization and detection in X-ray, Radio (next lecture)

3 WIMPS DM

4 Constraints on evaporating PBHs Carr, Bernard J. Springer Proc.Phys. 170 (2016) arxiv: [gr-qc]

5 Constraints on non-evaporating PBHs PHYSICAL REVIEW D 94, (2016) Ref: Carr, Kühnel, Sandstad 2016

6 FIG. 3. Constraints on fðmþ for a variety of evaporation (magenta), dynamical (red), lensing (cyan), large-scale structure (green) and accretion (orange) effects associated with PBHs. The effects are extragalactic γ-rays from evaporation (EG) [11], femtolensing of γ-ray bursts (F) [187], white-dwarf explosions (WD) [188], neutron-star capture constraints (NS) [36], Kepler microlensing of stars (K) [189], MACHO/EROS/OGLE micro- lensing of stars [27] and quasar microlensing (broken line) [190] (ML), survival of a star cluster in Eridanus II (E) [191], wide binary disruption (WB) [37], dynamical friction on halo objects (DF) [33], millilensing of quasars (mlq) [32], generation of large-scale structure through Poisson fluctuations (LSS) [14] and accretion effects (WMAP and FIRAS) [15]. Only the strongest constraint is usually included in each mass range, but the accretion limits are shown with broken lines since they are highly model dependent. Where a constraint depends on some extra parameter which is not well known, we use a typical value. Most constraints cut off at high M due to the incredulity limit. See the original references for more accurate forms of these constraints.

8 Microlensing Initial MACHO results: observed 17 events and claimed that these were consistent with compact objects of M 0.5M contributing 20% of the halo mass (Alcock et al. 2000) Later these lensing events revisited by EROS, OGLE, etc and attributed to self-lensing or clumping in the halo. Limits shown in the figure are from null detections

20 (Green 2016) FIG. 3. Constraints on the width, σ, of the DHF functional form, Eq. (10), as a function of the central mass Mc. Parameter values in the red hatched area in the bottom left produce Nexp 3 microlensing events in the EROS-2 survey and are excluded at 95% confidence. The blue hatched area in the top right is excluded by the heating of ultrafaint dwarfs. The constraint from the disruption of the star cluster in Eri II is tighter and excludes a large region of parameter space.
