1203.1729 (Gil Jannes et al.)

Hawking tunneling and boomerang behaviour of massive particles with E <
m
   [PDF]

Gil Jannes, Thomas G. Philbin, Germain Rousseaux
Massive particles are radiated from black holes through the Hawking mechanism together with the more familiar radiation of massless particles. For $E >= m$, the emission rate is identical to the massless case. But $E < m$ particles can also tunnel across the horizon. A study of the dispersion relation and wave packet simulations show that their classical trajectory is similar to that of a boomerang. The tunneling formalism is used to calculate the probability for detecting such $E < m$ particles, for a Schwarzschild black hole of astrophysical size or in an analogue gravity experiment, as a function of the distance from the horizon and the energy of the particle.
