Abstract
We calculate the angles of deflection of high-speed particles projected in an arbitrary direction into the Kerr gravitational field. This is done by first calculating the lightlike boost of the Kerr gravitational field in an arbitrary direction and then using this boosted gravitational field as an approximation to the gravitational field experienced by a high-speed particle. In the rest frame of the Kerr source the angles of deflection experienced by the high-speed test particle can then easily be evaluated.
