Out-of-this-world physics: Black holes at future colliders

摘要

One of the most dramatic consequences of low-scale (～1 TeV) quantum gravity in models with large or warped extra dimension(s) is possibly copious production of mini black holes at future coHiders, Hawking radiation of these black holes is expected to be constrained mainly to our three-dimensional world and results in rich phenomenology. In this talk we discuss selected aspects of mini black hole phenomenology, such as production at colliders, black-hole decay properties, and Hawking radiation as a sensitive probe of the dimensionality of extra space.
