Boosting the optical depth to Thomson scattering with primordial black hole evaporation at high redshift
astro-ph.CO 2026-08 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

A monochromatic primordial black hole population can raise the CMB optical depth by at most Delta tau ~ 0.008 under current CMB data, leaving BAO-CMB tensions essentially unchanged.
