Speaker: Djuna Croon, TRIUMF Abstract: Many models of dark matter feature small scale substructure. In this talk, I will describe how gravitational microlensing provides stringent constraints on such models. In particular, I will explain how existing techniques used to probe point-like objects (such as primordial black holes and MACHOs) can be adapted to find constraints on several different extended objects. Optical effects such as caustics imply a sensitivity to the mass distribution of the particular object. I will describe how...

Speaker: Stefano Profumo, UCSC Abstract: In the age of gravitational wave astronomy, the possibility that some of the black holes in the universe have a primordial, rather than stellar origin, and that they might be a non-negligible fraction of the cosmological dark matter, is quite intriguing. I will review the status of the field, and comment on search strategies and future prospects for detection across many decades in black hole mass. I will also discuss how light primordial black holes...
