Scattering of gravitational radiation from vacuum black holes.
Abstract
Scattering and inelastic cross sections are calculated for gravitational radiation incident along the axis of symmetry of a vacuum black hole. We consider both nonrotating and rotating black holes and, in the latter case, both corotating and counterrotating circularly polarized incident radiation. Graphical results are displayed for the superradiance or absorption, the phase shifts, and the cross section for scattering of gravitational waves over a range of the parameter values of interest.
