Description

In this talk, I will present an overview of light primordial black hole (PBHs) phenomenology. I will first motivate why light PBHs are of particular interest to probe the evolution of the early universe. I will then review the many imprints that evaporating PBHs can leave in cosmological observatories and experimental particle physics experiments. I will finally end by elaborating on an important development in the field of PBH phenomenology, which is the effect of temperature gradients in our understanding of how evaporating PBHs affect their environment.
