As an input, the moderately optimistic theoretical predictions for diffuse neutrino spectra of AGN jets are used.

Vector meson-nucleon scattering amplitudes are calculated in two-gluon exchange approximation of QCD. The off-diagonal transitions of diffraction dissociation type between different vector mesons and their contributions to the expression for the total photoabsorption cross section on the nucleon are also calculated. It is shown that destructive interference of diagonal and off-diagonal terms is not effective. The main conclusion is that a p-cut-off in gamma-quark antiquark transition is necessary for obtaining the convergence in the summation over all vector meson contributions.

The relativistic constituent quark model for a description of the meson (q, anti q)-wave functionsis used. The meson-nucleon scattering is calculated in the two-gluon exchange approximation. It is shown that the destructive interference effects and corresponding cancellations in the photoabsorption cross section formula are small, so the GVDM predictions are incorrect if no extra cut-off factors in GVDM formulas are introduced.

The most important features of algorithm are described. Results on the test for accuracy of treatment the muon energy loss with MUM are presented and analyzed. It is evaluated to be of 0.002 or better, depending upon simulation parameters. Contributions of different simplifications which are applied at Monte Carlo muon transportation to the resulting error are considered and ranked. It is shown that when simulating muon propagation through medium it is quite enough to account only for fluctuations in radiative energy loss with fraction of energy lost being as large as 0.05 -- 0.1. Selected results obtained with MUM are given and compared with ones from other algorithms.

It is shown that the consistent GVDM scheme (i.e., the scheme which operates with more or less realistic vector mesons rather than with effective ones) alone is not able to describe the photonuclear interactions at very high energies of muons. Two-component picture of photonuclear interaction (GVDM + perturbative QCD) is proposed.

It was assumed that PBHs are formed by a blue power-law spectrum of primordial density fluctuations. In the calculations of neutrino spectra the spectral index of density fluctuations and the reheating temperature were used as free parameters. The absorption of neutrinos during propagation in the space was taken into account. We obtained the bounds on the spectral index assuming validity of the standard picture of gravitational collapse and using the available data of several experiments with atmospheric and solar neutrinos. The comparison of our results with the previous constraints (which had been obtained using diffuse photon background data) shows that such bounds are quite sensitive to an assumed form of the initial PBH mass function.

The theoretical model used in the present work assumes that the chromosphere around the evaporating black hole does not form. For minimization of the cosmic ray background the method of multidimensional analysis of modelled as well as experimentally detected events is applied. The new upper limit on the concentration of evaporating primordial black holes in the local region of Galaxy is obtained. The comparison of the results of different experiments is given.

Different theoretical models of the evaporation process are used for the analysis. Distributions of the counting rate fluctuations on both arrays agree with the expectations from the cosmic ray background. The new constraints on the concentration of evaporating primordial black holes in the local region of Galaxy are obtained. The comparison of the results of different experiments is given.

It is shown that the maximal amplitudes of the second-order GW spectrum that can be approached without conflicting with the PBH data do not depend significantly on the shape of primordial perturbation spectrum. The constraints on the GW background obtained in previous works are extended to a wider GW frequency range. We discuss the applicability of the currently available pulsar timing limits for obtaining the constraints on scalar power spectrum and PBH abundance and show that they can be used for strongly constraining the PBH number density in the PBH mass range ˜(0.03-10)M⊙.

In the calculation we take into account the explicit dependence of gravitational (Bardeen) potential on time. Using the PBH mass spectra, we further calculate the neutrino and photon energy spectra in extragalactic space from evaporation of light PBHs, and the energy density fraction contained in PBHs today (for heavier PBHs). We obtain the constraints on the model parameters using available experimental data (including data on neutrino and photon cosmic backgrounds). We briefly discuss the possibility that the observed 511 keV line from the Galactic center is produced by annihilation of positrons evaporated by PBHs.

It is shown, in particular, that at frequencies near ∼40 Hz (which is the region explored by LIGO detector), the value of the induced part of ΩGW cannot exceed (1−3) × 10−7. The spread of values of the bound is caused by the uncertainty in parameters of the gravitational collapse of black holes.
