Accelerating strangelets via Penrose process in non-BPS fuzzballs
Abstract
Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays may include strangelets, a form of Strange Quark Matter, among their components. We briefly review their properties and discuss how they can be accelerated via Penrose process taking place in singular rotating Kerr black holes or in their smooth, horizonless counterparts in string theory, according to the fuzzball proposal. We focus on non-BPS solutions of the JMaRT kind and compute the efficiency of Penrose process that turns out not to be bounded unlike for Kerr BHs.
