The effective cross section of particle capture by a Schwarzschild black hole
Abstract
An expression is given for the cross-section of particle capture when the particle moves in the Schwarzschild metrics with arbitrary velocity. The cases of the particle's slow motion and of the particle's ultrarelativistic motion are considered. The author compares the results with the Mielnik-Plebańsky expression.
