Rotational superradiance generates the amplification of incoming waves of sufficiently low frequency when scattered with a rotating absorbing body. This may be used to discover new \emph{bosonic} particles of mass $m_b$ if the rotating body…

We study the coupling of massive scalar fields to matter in orbit around rotating black holes. It is generally expected that orbiting bodies will lose energy in gravitational waves, slowly inspiralling into the black hole. Instead, we show…
After reviewing the pioneering work by Zel'Dovich in which radiation is amplified perpendicular to the axis of a rotating conductor, we consider an alternative scattering arrangement. We demonstrate superradiant amplification of…
