Enhanced extragalactic photon flux by PBH in a stimulated axion/ALP decay scenario

In this work, we show that stimulated decay of axions or axion-like particles in black hole superradiance is an efficient way to find and hunt primordial black holes. When de Broglie's wavelength of the axion/ALP is comparable or larger than the black hole horizon radius, a large population of such particles accumulates in the surroundings of the black hole. When these axions/ALPs couple to photons, the bosonic cloud decays into photon pairs, generating intense stimulated radiation emission that contributes to the X-ray, visible light, and radio wave background flux that can exceed current observational limits measured at Earth. If the masses are in the interval of $10^{-3}\mathrm{eV}<μ<1\mathrm{eV}$, to be consistent with current observations of microwave background light, we found that the fraction of primordial black holes should be smaller than $f_{PBH} < 10^{-17}$ for PBHs with masses within $10^{-13} M_{\odot}<M_{BH}<10^{-7} M_\odot$.

Short Review of the main achievements of the Scalar Field, Fuzzy, Ultralight, Wave, BEC Dark Matter model

The Scalar Field Dark Matter model has been known in various ways throughout its history; Fuzzy, BEC, Wave, Ultralight, Axion-like Dark Matter, etc. All of them consist in proposing that the dark matter of the universe is a spinless field $Φ$ that follows the Klein-Gordon (KG) equation of motion $\BoxΦ-dV/dΦ=0$, for a given scalar field potential $V$. The difference between different models is sometimes the choice of the scalar field potential $V$. In the literature we find that people usually work in the nonrelativistic, weak-field limit of the KG equation where it transforms into the Schrödinger equation and the Einstein equations into the Poisson equation, reducing the KG-Einstein system, to the Schrödinger-Poisson system. In this paper, we review some of the most interesting achievements of this model from the historical point of view and its comparison with observations, showing that this model could be the last answer to the question about the nature of dark matter in the universe.
