Hawking radiation is corpuscular

High Energy Physics - Theory 2016-07-08 v3 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

The total number of Hawking quanta emitted during the evaporation of a Schwarzschild black hole is proportional to the square of the initial mass or, equivalently, to the Bekenstein entropy. This simple, but little appreciated, fact is interpreted in terms of the recent discovery of black hole soft hair.
