abstract
The amount of late decaying massive particles (e.g., gravitinos, moduli) produced in the evaporation of primordial black holes (PBHs) of mass $\Mbh\la10^9 $g is calculated. Limits imposed by big-bang nucleosynthesis on the abundance of these particles are used to constrain the initial PBH mass fraction $\beta$ (ratio of PBH energy density to critical energy density at formation), as: $\beta\la 5\times10^{-19} (\xp/6 10^{-3})^{-1} (\Mbh/10^9 {\rm g})^{-1/2} (\bar{\Yp}/10^{-14})$; $\xp$ is the fraction of PBH luminosity going into gravitinos or moduli, $\bar{\Yp}$ is the upper bound imposed by nucleosynthesis on the number density to entropy density ratio of gravitinos or moduli. This notably implies that such PBHs should never come to dominate the cosmic energy density.

Primordial black holes through preheating instabilities in $\alpha$-attractor models
In alpha-attractor models, preheating self-resonance can form primordial black holes of 10^2 to 10^7 g, with the Khlopov-Polnarev collapse formalism staying viable and the Press-Schechter formalism overproducing.

Constraints on Primordial Black Holes
Updated compilation shows PBHs are tightly constrained across 55 orders of magnitude in mass, ruling out dominant dark matter contributions except in narrow windows, with many limits carrying observational uncertainties.
