The fate of ultralight black holes depends on whether or not evaporation stops at or around the Planck scale. If evaporation stops, the general expectation is that a population of Planck-scale relics will be left over, possibly including a significant fraction of electrically charged relics. If evaporation does not stop, a runaway “explosion” would occur, with significant and potentially detectable high-energy emission. Here, I review both possibilities, with an emphasis on current status and future detection prospects.

摘要

The fate of ultralight black holes depends on whether or not evaporation stops at or around the Planck scale. If evaporation stops, the general expectation is that a population of Planck-scale relics will be left over, possibly including a significant fraction of electrically charged relics. If evaporation does not stop, a runaway “explosion” would occur, with significant and potentially detectable high-energy emission. Here, I review both possibilities, with an emphasis on current status and future detection prospects.
