Abstract

We show that if the lepton flavor violating μeγ\mu \rightarrow e \gamma process is observed in the MEG II experiment, the initial density of primordial black holes (PBHs) can be constrained with the scotogenic dark matter. As a benchmark case, if the PBH evaporation occurs in the radiation dominated era, the initial density may be 2×1017β3×10162\times 10^{-17} \lesssim \beta \lesssim 3 \times 10^{-16} for O\mathcal{O} (TeV) scale dark sector in the scotogenic model where β=ρPBH/ρrad\beta=\rho_{\rm PBH}/\rho_{\rm rad} is the ratio of the PBH density ρPBH\rho_{\rm PBH} to the radiation density ρrad\rho_{\rm rad} at the time of PBH formation. As an other benchmark case, if PBHs evaporate in the PBH dominated era, the initial density may be 1×108β3×1071 \times 10^{-8} \lesssim \beta \lesssim 3 \times 10^{-7} for O\mathcal{O} (GeV) scale dark matter with other O\mathcal{O} (TeV) scale particles in the scotogenic model.
