Black Holes at the LHC

Kanti, Panagiota

Understand

In these two lectures, we will address the topic of the creation of small black holes during particle collisions in a ground-based accelerator, such as LHC, in the context of a higher-dimensional theory.

  • We will cover the main assumptions, criteria and estimates for their creation, and we will discuss their properties after their formation.
  • The most important observable effect associated with their creation is likely to be the emission of Hawking radiation during their evaporation process.
  • After presenting the mathematical formalism for its study, we will review the current results for the emission of particles both on the brane and in the bulk.
