We suggest a simple model to study the problem of the black hole production in particle collisions. The cross-section for the classical and quantum production is analysed within this model. In particular, the possibility to form a black…
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…
We investigate classical formation of a D-dimensional black hole in a high energy collision of two particles. The existence of an apparent horizon is related to the solution of an unusual boundary-value problem for Poisson's equation in…
A regular black hole model, which has been proposed by Hayward, is reconsidered in the framework of higher dimensional TeV unification and self-complete quantum gravity scenario (Dvali, Spallucci). We point out the "quantum" nature of these…
Arguments for black hole formation in collisions of high-energy particles have rested on the emergence of a closed trapped surface in the classical geometry of two colliding Aichelburg-Sexl solutions. Recent analysis has, however, shown…
If the Planck scale is near a TeV, black hole production should be possible at colliders, as well as by cosmic rays. I begin with a review of the two approaches to TeV-scale gravity, large extra dimensions and warped compactification,…
It is argued that the cross section for production of large black holes, for which a semiclassical description is applicable, cannot be given by the geometric area of the black hole horizon, as claimed recently in the literature. Rather the…
We examine how the production of TeV scale black holes at colliders is influenced by the presence of Lovelock higher-curvature terms in the action of models with large extra dimensions. Such terms are expected to arise on rather general…
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…
If TeV-scale gravity describes nature, black holes will be produced in particle accelerators, perhaps even with impressive rates at the Large Hadron Collider. Their decays, largely via the Hawking process, will be spectacular. Black holes…
The classical Einstein gravity description of black hole production in transplanckian collisions in TeV-scale gravity is tested for self-consistency. In addition to the "curvature must be small" test, which was shown to be violated in…
The production of black holes in large extra dimensions is studied for Tevatron energies. We find that black holes may have already been created in small abundance in $\bar p p$ collisions at $\sqrt s=1.8$ TeV. For the next Tevatron run…
The semiclassical picture of black hole production in trans-Planckian elementary particle collisions is reviewed.
We argue that a simple modification of the TeV scale quantum gravity scenario allows production of semiclassical black holes in particle collisions at the LHC. The key idea is that in models with large extra dimensions the strength of…
A field theoretical description of mini black hole production at TeV energies is given taking into account the quantization of black holes in discrete resonances. The unknown quantum gravitational effects are absorbed in effective…
Black hole production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is an interesting consequence of TeV-scale gravity models. The predicted values, or lower limits, for the fundamental Planck scale and number of extra dimensions will depend directly…
Particles colliding at impact parameter much larger than the effective gravitational radius can not classically form a black hole and just scatter off the radial potential barrier separating the particles. We show that the process of the…
Particle production from the vacuum is a remarkable aspect of particle physics. Prime examples are the Schwinger process of particle production in strong electric fields and the Hawking process of particle production from black holes. These…
Higher-dimensional scenarios allow for the formation of mini-black holes from TeV-scale particle collisions. The purpose of this paper is to review and compare different methods for the estimate of the total gravitational energy emitted in…
In theories with large extra dimensions and TeV-scale gravity, black holes are copiously produced in particle collisions at energies well above the Planck scale. I briefly review some recent work on the phenomenology of this process, with…
