Abstract

Following a new microlensing constraint on primordial black holes (PBHs) with 1020\sim10^{20}--1028g10^{28}\,\mathrm{g}~[1], we revisit the idea of PBH as all Dark Matter (DM). We have shown that the updated observational constraints suggest the viable mass function for PBHs as all DM to have a peak at 1020g\simeq 10^{20}\,\mathrm{g} with a small width σ0.1\sigma \lesssim 0.1, by imposing observational constraints on an extended mass function in a proper way. We have also provided an inflation model that successfully generates PBHs as all DM fulfilling this requirement.
