Abstract
Data taken with ACT2 and ACT3 between 1995 and 1997 are used to search for 0.1 s bursts of TeV gamma ray from evaporating primordial black h oles (PBHs). There is no evidence for such bursts in the dataset. Usin g the result, the upper limit of 3 x 10(8) pc(-3)yr(-1) on the rate-de nsity of evaporating PBI-Is is set in the vicinity of the solar system at a 99% confidence level.
