Abstract: We investigate the radial part of the charged massive Klein-Gordon equation in Kerr-Newman spacetime, and in several specific situations, obtain exact solutions by means of essentially hypergeometric functions or their confluent types. Using these global solutions and generally obtained local solutions, we calculate a sort of intensity of the collision of two field excitations, which is a slight generalization of the trace of the stress tensor. We find that when the black hole is nonextremal, the intensity of the collision of two ingoing modes is bounded. However, in the extremal limit, more precisely hbarkappaHightarrow0, the upper bound grows so that when the frequency of one of the two modes satisfies the critical relation, the intensity of the collision at the horizon becomes unboundedly large. Furthermore, the intensity of the collision of ingoing and outgoing modes is always unbounded, as well as in the classical particle theory. Our results suggest that the BSW effect is inherited by the quantum theory.
