Primordial black hole archaeology with gravitational waves from cosmic strings
Abstract Light primordial black holes (PBHs) with masses smaller than 109 g (10 −24 M ⊙) evaporate before the onset of Big-Bang nucleosynthesis, rendering their detection rather challenging. If efficiently produced, they may have dominated the universe energy density. We study how such an early matt...
