Gravitation radiation from the collision of particles

TL;DR

This paper estimates gravitational radiation emitted during superheavy particle collisions, exploring a potential mechanism for ultrahigh energy cosmic ray origins within active galactic nuclei.

Contribution

It applies Weinberg formalism to calculate gravitational radiation from particle collisions, providing new estimates relevant to cosmic ray physics.

Findings

Energy lost via gravitational radiation is less than collision energy and particle mass.

Collision dynamics suggest possible mechanisms for ultrahigh energy cosmic ray production.

Abstract

At the present moment, there is an unresolved problem in the physics of cosmic rays. The problem concerns the origin of the ultrahigh energy cosmic rays. One of the possible mechanisms of the particle's birth with such energy is bound to the processes occurring in the active nuclei of the galaxies. In this paper, we have examined a collision of superheavy particles. Using the Weinberg formalism, we have estimated gravitational radiation emitted during the collision in the first approximation. It was shown that, for a certain collision time, the energy lost by the ultrarelativistic particle is less than the value of the energy of the mass center of the collision and the mass of the colliding particles.
