Superradiance in static black hole spacetimes

arXiv:1511.02634 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.93.024028

Abstract

We investigate the absorption of a massive and charged scalar field in a Reissner-Nordström background. We compare our numerical results for the absorption cross section, obtained for arbitrary frequencies, with the low- and high-frequency limits. We find, in particular, that the total absorption cross section can be negative, showing that planar scalar waves can be superradiantly amplified by black holes.
