Acceleration of particles to high energy via gravitational repulsion in the Schwarzschild field

Abstract
Gravitational repulsion is an inherent aspect of the Schwarzschild solution of the Einstein-Hilbert field equations of general relativity. We show that this circumstance means that it is possible to gravitationally accelerate particles to the highest cosmic ray energies.
