High-energy colliders as black hole factories: The End of short distance physics
@article{Giddings2002HighenergyCA, title={High-energy colliders as black hole factories: The End of short distance physics}, author={Steven B. Giddings and Scott D. Thomas}, journal={Physical Review D}, year={2002}, volume={65}, pages={056010} }
If the fundamental Planck scale is of order of a TeV, as is the case in some extra-dimension scenarios, future hadron colliders such as the CERN Large Hadron Collider will be black hole factories. The nonperturbative process of black hole formation and decay by Hawking evaporation gives rise to spectacular events with up to many dozens of relatively hard jets and leptons with a characteristic ratio of hadronic to leptonic activity of roughly 5:1. The total transverse energy of such events is…

One of the most dramatic consequences of low-scale (~1 TeV) quantum gravity in models with large or warped extra dimension(s) is copious production of mini-black holes at future colliders and in…
Bounds on large extra dimensions from the simulation of black hole events at the LHC
- Physics

A bstractIf large extra dimensions exist, the Planck scale may be as low as a TeV and microscopic black holes may be produced in high-energy particle collisions at this energy scale. We simulate…
Quantum Black Holes at the LHC. Production and decay mechanisms of non-thermal microscopic black holes in particle collisions

The scale of quantum gravity could be as low as a few TeV in the existence of extra spatial dimensions or if the Planck scale runs fast due to a large number of particles in a hidden sector. One of…
TOPICAL REVIEW: TeV mini black hole decay at future colliders
- Physics

It is generally believed that mini black holes decay by emitting elementary particles with a black body energy spectrum. The original calculation leads to the conclusion that about the 90% of the…
Interaction of a TeV scale black hole with the quark gluon plasma at CERN LHC

A Model for High Energy Scattering in Quantum Gravity

We present a model for high energy two body scattering in a quantum theory of gravity. The model is applicable for center of mass energies higher than the relevant Planck scale. At impact parameters…

The emission produced over the lifetime of black holes with masses less than M*≃4-6×10 14 g is investigated by convolving the Hawking emission formulas with a Monte Carlo QCD jet code and shows little sensitivity to the uncertainties in particle-physics models.

Black holes radiate mainly on the brane.

It is shown that the masses of many Kaluza-Klein modes are much smaller than the Hawking temperature of the black hole, and this raises the possibility of observing Hawking radiation in future high energy colliders if there are large extra dimensions.
