Abstract

Primordial black holes (PBHs), originating from the gravitational collapse of large overdensities in the early Universe, emerge as a compelling dark matter (DM) candidate across a broad mass range. Of particular interest are ultra-light PBHs with masses around 101410^{14} to 101710^{17} g, which are typically probed by searching their evaporation products. Using the soft X-ray signal measured by the XMM telescopes, we derive constraints on the fraction of PBHs dark matter with masses in the range 101510^{15}-101610^{16} g. We find that observations exclude fraction f>106f>10^{-6} at 95\% C.L. for mass MPBH=1015M_{\rm PBH}=10^{15} g.
