The classical Penrose process and the collisional Penrose processes involve particles decaying or interacting very close to a spinning black hole, in which some particles acquire negative energy and fall into the black hole while others…

The center-of-mass energy of two colliding particles could be arbitrarily high in the vicinity of event horizons of the extremal Myers-Perry black holes if the angular momentum of colliding particles is fine-tuned to the critical values. We…

Collisions of particles near a rotating black hole can lead to unbound energies $E_{c.m.}$ in their centre of mass frame. There are indications that the Killing energy of debris at infinity can also be unbound for some scenarios of…

In our paper we investigate the lower limit of collisional energy of test particles near the Kerr black hole. In particular we examine the minimal Lorentz factor between the freely falling particles and the particles orbiting around a black…

Following the interesting work of Ba\~nados, Silk, and West [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 103}, 111102 (2009)], it is repeatedly stated in the physics literature that the center-of-mass energy, ${\cal E}_{\text{c.m}}$, of two colliding particles…

Scattering of particles in the gravitational field of Kerr black holes is considered. It is shown that scattering energy of particles in the centre of mass system can obtain very large values not only for extremal black holes but also for…

Energy extraction from a rotating or charged black hole is one of fascinating issues in general relativity. The collisional Penrose process is one of such extraction mechanisms and has been reconsidered intensively since Banados, Silk and…

We consider collisions of particles near generic axially symmetric extremal black holes. We examine possibility of indefinitely large extraction of energy (the so-called super-Penrose process) in the limit when the point of collision…

We performed a series of 769 full numerical simulations of high energy collision of black holes to search for the maximum gravitational energy emitted $E_{rad}$, during their merger. We consider equal mass binaries with spins pointing along…

Shortly after the discovery of the Kerr metric in 1963, it was realized that a region existed outside of the black hole's event horizon where no time-like observer could remain stationary. In 1969, Roger Penrose showed that particles within…

It has recently been pointed out that particles falling freely from rest at infinity outside a Kerr black hole can in principle collide with arbitrarily high center of mass energy in the limiting case of maximal black hole spin. Here we aim…

It has been proved that arbitrarily high-energy collision between two particles can occur near the horizon of an extremal Kerr black hole as long as the energy $E$ and angular momentum $L$ of one particle satisfies a critical relation,…
