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 کاملBlack Hole Shadows of Charged Spinning Black Holes
We propose a method for measuring the black hole charge by imaging a black hole shadow in a galactic center by future interferometers. Even when the black hole is uncharged, it is possible to confirm the charge neutrality by this method. We first derive the analytic formulae of the black hole shadow in an optically thin medium around a charged spinning black hole, and then investigate how conto...
متن کاملBlack Holes at Accelerators
One of the most surprising and exciting possibilities for new physics at future colliders is the production of microscopic black holes [1], which can occur in theories with large extra dimensions [2]. String theory suggests a scenario in which the Standard Model particles are confined to a submanifold with the familiar three spatial dimensions (the ‘brane’), while gravity is free to propagate i...
متن کاملBlack holes at accelerators
This is my contribution to the proceedings of Stephen Hawking’s 60th birthday celebration. If the ideas of TeV scale gravity are correct, then black holes should be produced at accelerators that probe the TeV scale, and their decays should evidence one of Stephen’s greatest discoveries, the phenomenon of black hole radiance. ∗ email address: [email protected].

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, ...
