Universailty of Low Energy Absorption Cross-sections for Black Holes

arXiv:hep-th/9609052 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.78.417

Abstract

In this paper we compute the low energy absorption cross-section for minimally coupled massles scalars and spin-$1/2$ particles, into a general spherically symmetric black hole in arbitrary dimensions. The scalars have a cross section equal to the area of the black hole, while the spin-$1/2$ particles give the area measured in a flat spatial metric conformally related to the true metric.
