Abstract
Data taken with ACT2 and ACTS between 1995 and 1997 are used to search for 0.1 second bursts of TeV gamma Rays from evaporating Primordial Black Holes (PBHs). There is no evidence for such bursts in the dataset. Using the res ult, the upper limit of 3 x 10(8)pc(-3) yr(-1) on the rate-density of evapo rating PBHs is set in the vicinity of the solar system at a 99% confidence level.
