abstract = {Ultralight bosons near rotating black holes can undergo
significant growth through superradiant energy extraction,
potentially reaching field values close to the Planck scale
and transforming black holes into effective transducers for
these fields. The interaction between boson fields and
fermions may lead to parametric production or Schwinger pair
production of fermions, with efficiencies significantly
exceeding those of perturbative decay processes.
Additionally, the spatial gradients of scalar clouds and the
electric components of vector clouds can accelerate
fermions, resulting in observable fluxes. This study
considers both Standard Model neutrinos and dark sector
fermions, which could contribute to boosted dark matter.
Energy loss due to fermion emissions can potentially quench
the exponential growth of the cloud, leading to a saturated
state. This dynamic provides a framework for establishing
limits on boson-neutrino interactions, previously
constrained by neutrino self-interaction considerations. In
the saturation phase, boson clouds have the capacity to
accelerate fermions to TeV energies, producing fluxes that
surpass those from atmospheric neutrinos near black holes.
These fluxes open new avenues for observations through
high-energy neutrino detectors like IceCube, as well as
through dark matter direct detection efforts focused on
targeted black holes.},
