The jet mass is a perturbatively calculable probe of the virtuality of hard-scattered quarks and gluons, connecting small-distance quantum chromodynamics (QCD) with long-distance experimental measurement. The jet mass is dominated by nonperturbative corrections at small values, presenting an excellent test of QCD across a broad range of jet energies.

While the introduction of a fundamental length scale indeed regulates the Hawking temperature, preventing its divergence, we show that the evaporation timescale for such RPBHs is infinite. This result holds generically for analytic regular black hole spacetimes under standard adiabatic and quasi-static evolution. Consequently, RPBHs never actually reach a true remnant state within any finite time, but instead persist as slowly evaporating objects with a non-zero luminosity. When the combined emission from a cosmological population of these near-remnants is considered, the resulting radiation is found to violate stringent observational constraints from the cosmic microwave background and extragalactic gamma-ray backgrounds.

We also impose a lower bound on the reheating temperature based on the constraint from the effective number of relativistic species (<span><math><mrow><mstyle><mi>Δ</mi></mstyle><msub><mi>N</mi><mrow><mi>eff</mi></mrow></msub></mrow></math></span>) arising from primordial gravitational waves. While reheating improves agreement with observations for some models, significant regions of parameter space remain disfavored.
