This letter aims at showing that the observation of evaporating black holes
should allow distinguishing between the usual Hawking behavior and Loop Quantum
Gravity (LQG) expectations. We present a full Monte-Carlo simulation of the
evaporation in LQG and statistical tests that discriminate between competing
models. We conclude that contrarily to what was commonly thought, the
discreteness of the area in LQG leads to characteristic features that qualify
evaporating black holes as objects that could reveal quantum gravity
footprints.
