Decay of Dirac hair around a dilaton black hole
Gary W. Gibbons and Marek Rogatko

The intermediate and late-time behaviour of a massive Dirac field in the background of static spherically symmetric dilaton black hole solutions is investigated. The intermediate asymptotic behaviour of a massive Dirac field depends on the mass parameter as well as the wave number of the mode, while the late-time behaviour has a power law decay rate independent of both.
