| Popis: | We recently showed that postulated ultracompact minihalos with a steep density profile do not form in realistic simulations with enhanced initial perturbations. In this paper we assume that a small fraction of the dark matter consists of primordial black holes (PBHs) and simulate the formation of structures around them. We find that in this scenario halos with steep density profiles do form, consistent with theoretical predictions. If the rest of the dark matter consists of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), we also show that WIMPs in the dense innermost part of these halos would annihilate and produce a detectable gamma-ray signal. The non-detection of this signal implies that PBHs make up at most one billionth of the dark matter, provided that their mass is greater than one millionth of the mass of the Sun. Similarly, a detection of PBHs would imply that the remaining dark matter could not be WIMPs. Comment: 10 pages, 8 figures. v2: Minor changes to match the published version |
