Phys. Rev. D 69, 124031 (2004) [10 pages]Reflection, radiation, and interference near the black hole horizonReceived 8 October 2003; published 29 June 2004 The event horizon of black holes is capable of reflection: there is a finite probability for any particle that approaches the horizon to bounce back. The albedo of the horizon depends on the black hole temperature and the energy of the incoming particle. The reflection shares its physical origins with the Hawking process of radiation; both of them arise as consequences of the mixing of the incoming and outgoing waves that takes place due to quantum processes on the event horizon. © 2004 The American Physical Society URL:
