The aim of this focus week workshop is to discuss how current and future experiments, based on both gravitational waves and other observables such as microlensing, will allow us to test the existence and abundance of primordial black holes (PBHs).
We will explore various strategies and recent developments in PBH physics, including: (i) Formation mechanisms and abundance of PBHs; (ii) Scalar-induced gravitational waves from cosmological perturbations and gravitational waves from the merger of binaries; (iii) Constraints on PBH abundance; (iv) Numerical algorithms and data analysis techniques based on artificial intelligence and machine
learning.
By bringing together experts from different fields, this workshop aims to foster fruitful discussions and possible collaborations driving significant advancements in our understanding of PBHs.
