Particle collisions near static spherically symmetric black holes

It has been shown by Bañados, Silk and West (BSW) that the center of mass energy (Ecm) of test particles starting from rest at infinity and colliding near the horizon of a Schwarzschild black hole is always finite. In this short note, we extent the BSW scenario and study two particles with different...
