Ultrarelativistic gravity and extremely energetic cosmic ray

Two main factors are taken into account when describing the behavior of energetic cosmic rays near black holes: the strong magnetic field and gravity, which determines the geodesic motion of the particles. We draw attention to the third factor: since cosmic ray particles have a nonzero spin, the spin-gravity coupling can play an important role in the ultrarelativistic regime. The reaction of the spinning particle on the gravitomagnetic components of the field of the fast-moving Schwarzschild mass is considered. Some examples and numerical estimations are presented.

Abstract

Two main factors are taken into account when describing the behavior of energetic cosmic rays near black holes: the strong magnetic field and gravity, which determines the geodesic motion of the particles. We draw attention to the third factor: since cosmic ray particles have a nonzero spin, the spin-gravity coupling can play an important role in the ultrarelativistic regime. The reaction of the spinning particle on the gravitomagnetic components of the field of the fast-moving Schwarzschild mass is considered. Some examples and numerical estimations are presented.
