Description
Primordial black holes (PBHs) are a potential dark matter candidate whose masses can span over many orders of magnitude. If their masses lie in the $10^{15}-10^{17}$ g range, they can emit sizeable fluxes of MeV neutrinos through evaporation via Hawking radiation. We investigate the possibility of detecting light (non-)rotating PBHs with future neutrino experiments DUNE and THEIA. We show that these next-generation facilities will be able to set competitive constraints on PBH dark matter, providing complementary probes in a part of the PBH parameter space currently constrained mainly by photon data.
