All files are saved using the "numpy.save" command and can be imported by using "numpy.load" in Python

General:



k.npy gives the range of values of k for which the data has been computed

m_init.npy gives the range of values of M_0 for which the data has been computed

Values of "Inf" for f_PBH imply that there is no constraint

Values of "0.0" for f_PBH imply that PBH can not exist today because they would have fully evaporated

Values of "Inf" for k_PBH imply that PBH are excluded from being 100% of the dark matter independent of k for the given mass

Values of "0.0" for k_PBH imply that PBH can be 100% of the dark matter even for k=0.0
