We derive a general formula for the center-of-mass (CM) energy for the near-horizon collision of two particles of the same rest mass on the equatorial plane around a Kerr black hole. We then apply this formula to a particle which plunges from the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) and collides with another particle near the horizon. It is found that the maximum value of the CM energy E{sub cm} is given by E{sub cm}/(2m{sub 0}){approx_equal}1.40/{sup 4{radical}}(1-a{sub *}{sup 2}) for a… Expand
