rotating black hole, Kerr metric, ergosphere, particle collisionsAbstract
Ultrahigh energy particles in cosmic rays observed on the Earth can have their origin in the ergosphere of rotating black holes. This paper discusses production of these particles through decay of superheavy dark matter particles, such as multiparticle scattering near horizon, as well as a collision of particles with a large angular momentum and particles on white hole geodesics.
