Asymptotic power-law tails of massive scalar fields in Reissner-Nordström background

We investigate dominant late-time tail behaviors of massive scalar fields in nearly extreme Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m background. It is shown that the oscillatory tail of the scalar fields has the decay rate of $t^{-5/6}$ at asymptotically late times. The physical mechanism by which the asymptotic $t^{-5/6}$ tail yields and the relation between the field mass and the time scale when the tail begins to dominate, are discussed in terms of resonance backscattering due to spacetime curvature.
