In the context of Large Extra Dimensions the fundamental Planck scale can be as low as the TeV scale. If this is the way of nature, quantum gravity effects could be visible at the LHC or other High energy colliders. A model independent…
Scattering at transplanckian energies offers model independent tests of TeV scale gravity. Black-hole production is one spectacular signal, though a full calculation of the cross section is not yet available. Another signal is given by…
The problem of black hole production in transplanckian particle collisions is revisited, in the context of large extra dimensions scenarios of TeV-scale gravity. The validity of the standard description of this process (two colliding…
In low-scale gravity models, a particle collider with trans-Planckian collision energies can be an ideal place for producing black holes because a large amount of energy can be concentrated at the collision point, which can ultimately lead…
The collision of two gravitationally interacting, ultra-relativistic, extended sources is being examined. This investigation classifies the transverse distributions that are collided for fixed collision energy, according to whether one or…
We propose a parton model of inelastic collisions at transplanckian energies E >> G^{-1/2}, using the gravitons, whose transverse momenta are cut at the Planck scale, as partons. For this purpose we represent the gravitational shock-wave…
We discuss whether the particles undergoing transplanckian collisions in TeV-scale gravity can deplete all their energy on bremsstrahlung for the impact parameters much larger than the gravitational radius of the presumably created black…
The problem of evaluating the cross section of production of large black holes in particle collisions at trans-Planckian energies is revisited. It is argued that the geometric cross section claimed in the literature would in fact lead to an…
There is evidence that trans-Planckian physics does not affect the Hawking radiation in four dimensions and, consequently, deviations from the linear dispersion relation (for massless particles) at very high energies cannot be revealed…
Phenomena related to the non-perturbative aspects of strong interactions at the LHC are discussed with emphasis on elastic and inelastic soft and hard diffraction processes. Predictions for the global characteristics and angular…
We study collisions between localized shockwaves inside a black hole interior. We give a holographic boundary description of this process in terms of the overlap of two growing perturbations in a shared quantum circuit. The perturbations…
Based on the idea that tensor unparticles can enhance the gravitational interactions between standard model particles, potential black hole formation in high energy collisions is examined. Modifications to the horizon radius $r_H$ are…
Heavy-ion collisions at the LHC provide the conditions to investigate regions of quark-gluon plasma that reach higher temperatures and that persist for longer periods of time compared to collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider.…
We study the loop effects on the geometry and boundary conditions of several black hole spacetimes one of which is time-dependent and analyze the energy measured by an infalling observer near their horizons. The finding in the previous…
New experimental data about proton-proton collisions obtained atthe LHC allow to widen strongly the energy interval where one gets some knowledge about the structure of their interaction region. Using the unitarity relation in combination…
Two particles can collide inside a nonextremal black hole in such a way that the energy E_{c.m.} in their centre of mass frame becomes as large as one likes. We show that this effect can be understood with the help of a simple analogy with…
Arguments are given for the conclusion that the energy of collision of two ultrarelativistic elementary particles due to gravitational radiation cannot exceed the Planck value. Comparison of the gravitational and electromagnetic radiation…
Quantum-gravity effects in black holes are generally expected to be unobservable if they set in at transplanckian curvature scales. Here, we challenge this expectation. A near-critical spin parameter can serve as a lever arm that translates…
If the fundamental Planck scale is of order a TeV, as the case in some extra-dimensions scenarios, future hadron colliders such as the Large Hadron Collider will be black hole factories. The non-perturbative process of black hole formation…
We continue our recent endeavor in which a time-dependent black hole solution of a one-loop quantum-corrected Einstein-scalar system was obtained and its near-horizon behavior was analyzed. The energy analysis led to a trans-Planckian…
