Primordial Black Holes (PBHs) are one of the most well-motivated DM\u0000candidates. Light enough PBHs have been constrained by either the non-detection\u0000of their Hawking radiation itself, or by the non-observation of any measurable\u0000effects of this radiation on astrophysical and cosmological observables. We\u0000constrain the PBH density by their Hawking radiation effect on the\u0000intergalactic medium (IGM) temperature evolution. We use the latest deductions\u0000of IGM temperature from Lyman-$alpha$ forest observations. We put constraints\u0000on the fraction of PBH DM with masses $5 times 10^{15}$ g - $10^{17}$ g\u0000separately for spinning and non-spinning BHs. We derive constraints by dealing\u0000with the heating effects of the astrophysical reionization of the IGM in two\u0000ways. In one way, we completely neglect this heating due to astrophysical\u0000sources, thus giving us weaker constraints, but completely robust to the\u0000reionization history of the universe. In the second way, we utilise some\u0000modelling of the ionization and temperature history, and use it to derive more\u0000stringent constraints. We find that for non-spinning PBHs of mass $10^{16}$ g,\u0000the current measurements can constrain the PBH-density to be $lesssim$ 0.1% of\u0000the total DM. We find that these constraints from the latest Lyman-$alpha$\u0000forest temperature measurements are competitive, and hence provide a new\u0000observable to probe the nature of PBH DM. The systematics affecting\u0000Lyman-$alpha$ forest measurements are different from other constraining\u0000observations, and thus this is a complementary probe.","PeriodicalId":501067,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - PHYS - High Energy Physics - Phenomenology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142258806","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
