Abstract
If Primordial Black Holes constitute a significant component of the Dark Matter, we expect a fraction of the population to be present at the center of our Galaxy. This region is rich in dense molecular clouds. Black holes located within a cloud will accrete the dense interstellar gas, which will emit radiation during the process, providing a possible channel for detection. Here we discuss the scenario in which the Primordial Black Holes masses follow a multimodal mass function, as motivated by the thermal history of the universe, and compare it to the monochromatic case.

Metadata are provided both in "article" format (very similar to INSPIRE) as this helps creating
very compact bibliographies which can be beneficial to authors and
readers, and in "proceeding" format
which is more detailed and complete.
