Abstract

In this Letter we investigate the possible emission of low-energy electron neutrinos and electron-positron pairs of anomalously large multiplicity in close-to-central pppp collisions at LHC. The scenario is based on confining SU(2) Yang-Mills dynamics of Hagedorn temperature me=511\sim m_e=511 keV being responsible for the emergence of the lightest lepton family and the weak interactions of the Standard Model. Although cut off by LHC's detectors these electrons-positron bursts would be seen indirectly by a large defect energy and thus an anomalously strong decrease of events with interesting high-energy secondaries for increasing s\sqrt{s} . This is because the formation of superconducting (preconfining) SU(2) hot-spots `steals' a large fraction of s\sqrt{s} subsequently transferring it to a thermal spectrum of electron neutrinos, electrons, and positrons liberated through evaporation. We thus propose the detection of electrons and positrons of kinetic energy me\sim m_e and photons of energy 2me\sim 2 m_e.
