The power spectrum on small scales: Robust constraints and comparing PBH methodologies
Andrew D. Gow, Christian T. Byrnes, Philippa S. Cole +1
We compare primordial black hole (PBH) constraints on the power spectrum and mass distributions using the traditional Press Schechter formalism, peaks theory, and a recently develo…

The impact of distant fly-bys on the rate of binary primordial black hole mergers
Sam Young, Adrian S. Hamers
By performing Monte Carlo simulations of the evolution of binary primordial black hole (PBH) systems, we estimate the effect of distant encounters with single PBHs upon the coalesc…

Application of peaks theory to the abundance of primordial black holes
Sam Young, Marcello Musso
We consider the application of peaks theory to the calculation of the number density of peaks relevant for primordial black hole (PBH) formation. For PBHs, the final mass is relate…
