Abstract

We construct balanced black ring solutions in d6d\geq 6 spacetime dimensions, by solving the Einstein field equations numerically with suitable boundary conditions. The black ring solutions have a regular event horizon with S1×Sd3S^1\times S^{d-3} topology, and they approach the Minkowski background asymptotically. We analyze their global and horizon properties. The Smarr formula is well satisfied.
