Theoretical and observational studies suggest that stellar binaries exist inlarge numbers in galactic nuclei like our own Galactic Center. Neutron stars(NSs), and debatedly, black holes (BHs) and white dwarfs (WDs), receive natalkicks at birth. In this work we study the effect of two successive natal kickson a population of stellar binaries orbiting the massive black hole (MBH) inour Galactic Center. These natal kicks can significantly alter the binary orbitin a variety of ways, and also the orbit of the binary around the MBH. We founda variety of dynamical outcomes resulting from these kicks, including a steepercusp of single NSs relative to the initial binary distribution. Furthermore,hypervelocity star and binary candidates, including hypervelocity X-raybinaries, are a common outcome of natal kicks. In addition, we show that thepopulation of X-ray binaries in the Galactic Center can be used as a diagnosticfor the BH natal kick distribution. Finally, we estimate the rate ofgravitational wave (GW) events triggered by natal kicks, including binarymergers and EMRIs.
