New constraints on primordial black holes abundance from femtolensing of
  gamma-ray bursts
  The abundance of primordial black holes is currently significantly
constrained in a wide range of masses. The weakest limits are established for
the small mass objects, where the small intensity of the associated physical
phenomenon provides a challenge for current experiments. We used gamma- ray
bursts with known redshifts detected by the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
to search for the femtolensing effects caused by compact objects. The lack of
femtolensing detection in the GBM data provides new evidence that primordial
black holes in the mass range 5 \times 10^{17} - 10^{20} g do not constitute a
major fraction of dark matter.
