pbhstat: A Python Package for Calculating the Primordial Black Hole Abundance
We present pbhstat, a publicly available Python package designed to compute the mass function and total abundance of primordial black holes (PBHs) from a given primordial power spectrum. The package offers a modular framework using multiple statistical approaches, including Press–Schechter theory, peaks theory, and formalisms based on the non-linear compaction function. Currently, the implementation is limited to scenarios with nearly Gaussian initial conditions.
