Survival of the Fittest: Testing Superradiance Termination with Simulated Binary Black Hole Statistics

The superradiance instability of rotating black holes (BHs) leads to the formation of an ultralight boson cloud with distinctive observational signatures, making BHs an effective probe of ultralight bosons. However, around BHs in a binary system, the superradiance effect of such clouds can be termin...
