(In an earlier work [11], the author showed that Hawking radiation should follow
Maxwell-Boltzmann statistics rather than Bose-Einstein statistics as considered in [10].
The energies of such particles follow what is known as
Maxwell-Boltzmann statistics, and the statistical distribution of speeds is derived by equating particle energies with kinetic energy.
