Black Holes with Accretion Disks as High-Energy Particle Colliders
Delilah E. A. Gates
In principle, rapidly rotating black holes (BHs) with accretion disks -- either prograde or retrograde -- could naturally act as high-energy particle colliders (HEPCs) because part…

Near-Horizon Collisions around Near-Extremal Black Holes
Delilah E. A. Gates
Black holes have sometimes been described as astrophysical particle accelerators because finite energy particles can collide near the horizon with divergent center-of-mass (CM) ene…

Signatures of particle collisions near extreme black holes
Delilah E. A. Gates, Shahar Hadar
Finite-energy particles in free fall can collide with diverging center-of-mass energy near rapidly rotating black holes. What are the most salient observational signatures of this…
