Constraints on primordial black hole dark matter from wide binaries in the galactic halo

Primordial black holes (PBHs), black holes that are formed in the early Universe from the collapse of over-densities, are a candidate for non-baryonic cold dark matter. The fraction of dark matter made up of PBHs has been constrained using multiple mechanisms including evaporation, gravitational len...
