For the massless Dirac equation outside a slow Kerr black hole, we prove asymptotic completeness. We introduce a new Newman-Penrose tetrad in which the expression of the equation contains no artificial long-range perturbations. The main technique used is then a Mourre estimate. The geometry near the horizon requires us to apply a unitary transformation before we find ourselves in a situation where the generator of dilations is a good conjugate operator. The results are eventually re-interpreted geometrically to provide the solution to a Goursat problem on the Penrose compactified exterior.
