Description

We describe a new production mechanism of particle dark matter, which hinges on momentum filtering during a first-order cosmological phase transition. We then show that this mechanism can be modified to provide a new production mechanism of primordial black holes, which have not yet been observed but could solve a number of problems in cosmology.
