Center of mass energy of colliding electrically neutral particles and super-Penrose process

Abstract

We consider collisions of electrically neutral particles in the background of axially symmetric rotating space-times. For reactions of the kind 1+23+4 we give full classification of possible scenarios based on exact expressions for dynamic characteristics of particles 3 and 4 depending on particles 1 and 2. There are five nonequivalent scenarios valid for different types of space-time (black hole, naked singularity, etc.). We are mainly interested in the situations when particle collisions can give unbounded outcome for (i) the energy $E_{c.m.}$ in the center of mass frame and (ii) Killing energy $E$ at infinity. If (i) is fulfilled, this may or may not lead to (ii). If (ii) holds, this is called the super-Penrose process (SPP). For equatorial particle motion, we establish close relation between the type of behavior of $E_{c.m.}$ depending on the lapse function in the point of collision and the possibility of the SPP. This unites separate previous observations in literature in a unified picture as a whole. In doing so, no explicit transformations to the center of mass frame and back are needed, so all consideration is carried out in the original frame. As a result,we suggest classification of sub-classes of scenarios that are able (or unable) to give rise to the SPP particle collision, super-Penrose process, center of mass frame.
