Abstract

Hawking radiation can be viewed as a process of quantum tunneling near the black hole horizon. When a particle with angular momentum L ≠ ωa tunnels across the event horizon of Kerr or Kerr-Newman black hole, the angular momentum per unit mass a should be changed. The emission rate of the massless particles under this general case is calculated, and the result is consistent with an underlying unitary theory.
