Effect of Large Masses on Particle-Particle Interactions

POSTER

Abstract

Interactions between particles are governed by the Lagrangian which depends on the trace of the metric of local spacetime. Particle-particle interactions near massive objects will depend on the mass, angular momentum, and charge of the object. We explore and compare interactions in flat spacetime with those in a Schwarzschild metric for spin-0 and spin-1/2 particles through computational simulation.
