Future Constraints on Dark Matter with Gravitationally Lensed Fast Radio Bursts Detected by BURSTT

Understanding dark matter is one of the most urgent questions in modern physics. A very interesting candidate is primordial black holes (PBHs). For the mass ranges 100 M ⊙ , PBHs have been ruled out. However, they are still poorly constrained in the mass range 10 −16 –100 M ⊙ . Fast radio bursts (FR...

Zusammenfassung:Understanding dark matter is one of the most urgent questions in modern physics. A very interesting candidate is primordial black holes (PBHs). For the mass ranges 100 M ⊙ , PBHs have been ruled out. However, they are still poorly constrained in the mass range 10 −16 –100 M ⊙ . Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are millisecond flashes of radio light of unknown origin, mostly from outside the Milky Way. Due to their short timescales, gravitationally lensed FRBs, which are yet to be detected, have been proposed as a useful probe for constraining the presence of PBHs in the mass window of
