Implications for dark matter direct detection in the presence of LIGO-motivated primordial black holes

We discuss formation of dark matter (DM) mini-halos around primordial black holes (PBHs) and its implication on DM direct detection experiments, including axion searches. Motivated by LIGO observations, we consider fDM≃0.01 as the fraction of DM in PBHs with masses 10M⊙−70M⊙. In this case, we expect...
