1 Ja n 20 10 Spinning Black Holes as Particle Accelerators
It has recently been pointed out that particles falling freely from rest at infinity outside a Kerr black hole can in principle collide with arbitrarily high center of mass energy in the limiting case of maximal black hole spin. Here we aim to elucidate the mechanism for this fascinating result, and to point out its practical limitations, which imply that ultra-energetic collisions cannot occur...
متن کاملCollisional Penrose process near the horizon of extreme Kerr black holes.
Collisions of particles in black hole ergospheres may result in an arbitrarily large center-of-mass energy. This led recently to the suggestion [M. Bañados, J. Silk, and S. M. West, Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 111102 (2009)] that black holes can act as ultimate particle accelerators. If the energy of an outgoing particle is larger than the total energy of the infalling particles, the energy excess mu...
متن کاملBlack holes are neither particle accelerators nor dark matter probes.
It has been suggested that maximally spinning black holes can serve as particle accelerators, reaching arbitrarily high center-of-mass energies. Despite several objections regarding the practical achievability of such high energies, and demonstrations past and present that such large energies could never reach a distant observer, interest in this problem has remained substantial. We show that, ...
متن کاملPhysical Aspects of Quasi-local Black Hole Horizons
There are a number of physical effects expected to be associated with black holes. Black holes are now a standard paradigm for explaining a large number of astrophysical phenomena such as quasars, gamma-ray bursts and X-ray binaries. Such astrophysical black holes are expected to be very simple, described to a good approximation by the Kerr stationary vacuum solution. Much smaller black holes m...
متن کاملPhysicists Could Soon Be Creating Black Holes in the Laboratory
M AY 2 0 0 5 Ever since physicists invented particle accelerators, nearly 80 years ago, they have used them for such exotic tasks as splitting atoms, transmuting elements, producing antimatter and creating particles not previously observed in nature. With luck, though, they could soon undertake a challenge that will make those achievements seem almost pedestrian. Accelerators may produce the mo...
