Searching for Exploding Black Holes
arXiv:2307.06467 · doi:10.1088/1475-7516/2024/04/024
Abstract
The observation of the final stages of the evaporation of a light black hole, which Hawking referred to as ``black hole explosion", would offer critical insights on quantum gravity and high-energy physics phenomena. Here, we explore, review, and revisit the observational features and rates expected for nearby, light, evaporating black holes, and we assess and compare the expected sensitivity of a broad range of observatories. We then focus on the search for candidate black hole explosions in archival data from the Fermi Large Area Telescope and Gamma-ray Burst Monitor, and outline possible future observational campaigns
