Current and Future Constraints of Primordial Black Holes as Dark Matter Candidates

Abstract: Primordial black holes (PBHs) are plausible dark matter candidates that formed from the gravitational collapse of primordial density fluctuations. In this talk, I will be going over the present constraints that have been placed on PBHs as dark matter candidates as well as providing a possible new method to probe the unconstrained regions in the PBH parameter space by considering elastic scattering with cosmological gravitational wave backgrounds.
