abstract

Primordial black holes are black holes that may have formed from density fluctuations in the early universe. It has been theorized that black holes slowly evaporate. If primordial black holes of initial mass of $10^{14}$g were formed, their evaporation would end in this epoch, in a bright burst of very-high-energy gamma rays. A Cherenkov telescope experiment like VERITAS can look for these primordial black hole bursts in its archival data, constraining the rate-density of their final evaporation. New analysis techniques and search methodologies were used and will be presented here, leading to new constraints on the rate-density evaporation of primordial black holes, using 750 hours of archival VERITAS data.

  1. Four years of wide-field search for nanosecond optical transients with the TAIGA-HiSCORE Cherenkov array

    astro-ph.IM 2024-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Four seasons of TAIGA-HiSCORE data show no nanosecond optical transients, setting an upper limit of about 1e-3 events per steradian per hour.
