Fermion tunneling for traversable wormholes
Description
Hawking radiation can be interpreted as a quantum phenomenon of particles tunneling through black hole horizons. In this formulation, Kerner and Mann analyzed fermions emission via tunneling and investigated tunneling probabilities related to the Hawking temperature. This paper is devoted to the use of the Kerner and Mann technique for axially symmetric slowly rotating wormholes. We calculate tunneling probability for outgoing (as well as incoming) charged fermions and obtain their respective Hawking temperatures at horizon radii and also explore their graphical pictures.
