The center-of-mass energy of two particles can become arbitrarily large if they collide near the event horizon of an extremal Kerr black hole, which is called the Ba$\rm \tilde n$ados-Silk-West (BSW) effect. We consider such a high-energy…

The so-called BSW effect is an idealised scenario for high-energy test particle collisions in the vicinity of black holes; if the black hole is extremal and one of the particles fine-tuned, the centre-of-mass collision energy can be…

If two particles moving towards a black hole collide in the vicinity of the horizon, the energy $E_{c.m.}$ in the center of mass frame can grow indefinitely if one of particles is fine-tuned. This is the Ba\~{n}ados, Silk and West (BSW)…
