Extreme-mass-ratio Inspirals in the Strong Segregation Regime—to Inspiral or to Get Ejected?

Extreme-mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) of stellar-mass black holes (BHs) are among the main targets for upcoming low-frequency gravitational wave (GW) detectors such as the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna. In the classical scenario, EMRIs are formed when BHs scatter off each other and are driven on...
