Abstract

We analyze the collisional Penrose process between a particle on the ISCO orbit around an extreme Kerr black hole and a particle impinging from infinity. We consider both cases with non-spinning and spinning particles. We evaluate the maximal efficiency, ηmax=(extracted energy)/(input energy)\eta_{\text{max}}=(\text{extracted energy})/(\text{input energy}), for the elastic collision of two massive particles and for the photoemission process, in which the ISCO particle will escape to infinity after the collision with a massless impinging particle. For non-spinning particles, the maximum efficiency is ηmax2.562\eta_{\text{max}} \approx 2.562 for the elastic collision and ηmax7\eta_{\text{max}} \approx 7 for the photoemission process. While for spinning particles we obtain the maximal efficiency ηmax8.442\eta_{\text{max}} \approx 8.442 for the elastic collision and ηmax12.54\eta_{\text{max}} \approx 12.54 for the photoemission process.
