For extremal charged black holes in any dimension and with any cosmological constant, a fine-tuned near-horizon particle collision can eject a particle carrying arbitrarily large, though finite, energy.

abstract
The recently discovered so-called BSW effect consists in the unbound growth of the energy E_{c.m.} in the centre of mass frame of two colliding particles near the black hole horizon. We consider a new type of the corresponding scenario when one of two particles ("critical") remains at rest near the horizon of the charged near-extremal black hole due to balance between the attractive and repulsion forces. The other one hits it with a speed close to that of light. This scenario shows in a most pronounced way the kinematic nature of the BSW effect. In the extremal limit, one would gain formally infinite E_{c.m.} but this does not happen since it would have require the critical massive particle to remain at rest on the null horizon surface that is impossible. We also discuss the BSW effect in the metric of the extremal Reissner-Nordstr\"om black hole when the critical particle remains at rest near the horizon.

Penrose and super-Penrose energy extraction from a Reissner-Nordstr\"om black hole spacetime with a cosmological constant through the BSW mechanism: Full story
For extremal charged black holes in any dimension and with any cosmological constant, a fine-tuned near-horizon particle collision can eject a particle carrying arbitrarily large, though finite, energy.
