Infinite Blueshift of Charged Null Particles

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2008-02-03 v2 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

We demonstrate that charged null particles can be infinitely blue\-shifted in a Kerr-Newman spacetime. The surface of infinite blueshift can be outside of the ergosphere in a Kerr-Newman spacetime, and outside of the outer event horizon for a Reissner-Nordstrom spacetime. Implications for extensions of the standard model which incorporate charged neutrinos are discussed.
