Abstract

Gravitational and electromagnetic signatures of black hole superradiance are a unique probe of ultralight particles that are weakly-coupled to ordinary matter. Through the kinetic mixing with the Standard Model photon, a dark photon superradiance cloud sources a rotating visible electromagnetic field. I will describe how this leads to the production of a turbulent pair plasma, characterized by efficient magnetic reconnection, which radiates large-luminosity high-energy electromagnetic emissions. This enables multi-messenger search strategies to probe unconstrained regions of parameter space.
