Description
I will first discuss under which circumstances can black holes carry a scalar charge and what this implies for how that charge scales with the mass of the black hole. I will then use this insight to argue that EMRIs are an ideal system for searches of new fundamental scalars. I will lay out the framework for modelling EMRIs in this context and and present some first forecasts on LISA's ability to measure scalar charge.
