Rotating Black Hole with an Anisotropic Matter Field as a Particle Accelerator (2008.01426v1)

Abstract: Recently, a generalised solution for Einstein equations of a rotating compact body, surrounded by matter field was proposed, which is the Kerr-Newman spacetime with an anisotropic matter. The solution possesses an additional hair, along with the conventional mass, charge and spin, which arises from the negative radial pressure of the anisotropic matter. In this article we show that, this new class of black holes can act as a particle accelerator during the collision of two generic particles in its gravitational field in the ergo-region. The centre of mass energy of the particles shoots to arbitrary high value in the vicinity of event horizon for the extremal black hole. The physical conditions for the collision to take place are obtained by studying the horizon structure and circular particle motion. The results are interesting from astrophysical perspective.
