Abstract:
We study acceleration of current-carrying string loops governed by presence of an outer tension barrier and an inner angular momentum barrier in the field of black holes. Relativistic current carrying strings moving axisymmetrically along the axis of a black hole could in a simplified way represent plasma that exhibits associated string-like behavior. We demonstrate that string loops can be scattered near the black hole horizon and the energy of string oscillations can be efficiently converted to the energy of their linear motion. Such a transmutation effect can potentially represent acceleration of jets in active galactic nuclei and microquasars.
