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

  1. Hawking emission of massive vector fields by Kerr black holes

    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. Black Hole Explosions as Probes of New Physics

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    This paper derives analytic scalings connecting the gamma-ray lightcurve of an evaporating primordial black hole to the mass and number of hidden-sector degrees of freedom and to the memory-burden index of quantum gravity.
