Description
Primordial black holes (PBHs) are viable candidates for dark matter. The microlensing of stars is a powerful method to constrain their abundance. Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs), which are designed for gamma-ray astronomy, also provide outstanding optical capabilities with sampling speeds of $\ll 1\,$s. This work investigates, whether IACTs can access the unexplored PBH mass window of $10^{-14}\,M_\odot\leq M_{PBH} \leq10^{-10}\,M_\odot$.
