Schwarzschild black hole as particle accelerator of spinning particles

It is shown that in the Schwarzschild background there exists direct counterpart of the Bañados-Silk-West effect for spinning particles. This means that if two particles collide near the black hole horizon, their energy in the centre of mass frame can grow unbounded. In doing so, the crucial role is played by so-called near-critical trajectories when particle's parameters are almost fine-tuned. Direct scenario of the collision under discussion is possible with restriction on the energy-to-mass ratio \thinspace $E/m<\frac{1}{2\sqrt{3}}$ only. However, if one takes into account multiple scattering, this becomes possible for $E\geq m$ as well.
