Newman-Penrose Formalism for Gravitational Shock Waves

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2015-06-25 v1

Abstract

First order perturbations for the fields with spin on the background metric of the gravitational shock waves are discussed. Applying the Newman -- Penrose formalism, exact solutions of the perturbation equations are obtained. For particle physics, this would be one approach to the problem of scattering paticle at Planck energy.
