Maximal Efficiency of Collisional Penrose Process with Spinning Particle II

Understand

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, $\eta_{\text{max}}=(\text{extracted energy})/(\text{input energy})$, 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 $\eta_{\text{max}} \approx 2.562$ for the elastic collision and $\eta_{\text{max}} \approx 7$ for the photoemission process.
