Missing energy in black hole production and decay at the Large Hadron Collider

Understand

Black holes could be produced at the Large Hadron Collider in TeV-scale gravity scenarios.

• We discuss missing energy mechanisms in black hole production and decay in large extra-dimensional models.
• In particular, we examine how graviton emission into the bulk could give the black hole enough recoil to leave the brane.
• Such a perturbation would cause an abrupt termination in Hawking emission and result in large missing-energy signatures.
