Black Holes at Future Colliders and in Cosmic Rays
Abstract
One of the most dramatic consequences of low-scale (~1 TeV) quantum gravity would be copious production of mini black holes at future accelerators and in ultra-high-energy cosmic ray interactions. Hawking radiation of these black holes is constrained mainly to our (3+1)-dimensional world and results in their rapid evaporation. We review selected topics in the mini-black-hole phenomenology, such as production rates at colliders and in cosmic rays, Hawking radiation as a sensitive probe of the dimensionality of extra space, as well as an exciting possibility of finding new physics in the decays of black holes.
