In the string axiverse scenario, primordial black holes (PBHs) can sustain non-negligible spin parameters as they evaporate. We show that tracking both the mass and spin evolution of a PBH in its final hour can yield a purely gravitational probe of new physics beyond the TeV scale, allowing one to determine the number of new scalars, fermions, vector bosons, and spin-3/2 particles. Furthermore, we propose a multi-messenger approach to accurately measure the mass and spin of a PBH from its Hawking photon and neutrino primary emission spectra, which is independent of putative interactions between the new degrees of freedom and the Standard Model particles, as well as from the Earth-PBH distance.

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    First computation of massive vector (Proca) Hawking emission spectra from Kerr black holes, including polarization-dependent greybody factors, Page functions, and mass-enhanced superradiance up to ~7%.

  2. $\tt GrayHawk$: A public code for calculating the Gray Body Factors of massless fields around spherically symmetric Black Holes

    gr-qc 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A new public Mathematica tool, GrayHawk, computes gray-body factors for massless spin 0, 1/2, 1, and 2 fields around seven spherically symmetric, asymptotically flat black hole metrics.

  3. ALP production from light primordial black holes: The role of superradiance

    astro-ph.CO 2025-01 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Superradiance from spinning light primordial black holes can boost moduli production by about ten orders of magnitude, and the resulting axion-like dark radiation tightens Planck-based limits on these black holes.
