Production of black holes in TeV‐scale gravity

Abstract

Copious production of microscopic black holes is one of the least modeldependent predictions of TeV-scale gravity scenarios. We review the arguments behind this assertion and discuss opportunities to track the striking associated signatures in the near future. These include searches at neutrino telescopes, such as AMANDA and RICE, at cosmic ray air shower facilities, such as the Pierre Auger Observatory, and at colliders, such as the Large Hadron Collider.

Supersymmetric Dark Matter Candidates - The Lightest Neutralino, the Gravitino, and the Axino

“…which can be confronted with f a limits from astrophysical axion studies and axion searches in the laboratory [4,137,138,139,153]. Indeed, we expect that m τ1 and m e B will already be known from other processes when the τ 1 NLSP decays are analyzed; cf.…”

New modes for massive Dirac field in higher-dimensional black holes

“…In theories with extra dimensions of space one can discuss various problems. Among the most important ones is the study of black hole production [41,36,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16] and the proprieties such objects may have [48]. Once produced these mini black holes will evaporate through Hawking radiation almost immediately.…”

“…This can be done, for example, by studying higher dimensional black holes. The process of higher-dimensional black holes creation at TeV scale energies was in the past decade the subject of many articles [4,5,6,7,8,9] , [10,11,12,13,14,15,16] . It is assumed that once such objects are formed they will quickly evaporate through Hawking radiation [17].…”

Low energy laboratory searches for WISPs

“…2(a)). The first goal might be facilitated by using more magnets [30] and by employing optical cavities in both the production as well as in the regeneration region [31,32,33,34]. This "resonant regeneration" enhances the number of photons reaching the detector by a factor proportional to the number of passes the light does in each cavity N pass, prod N pass, reg (the ALPS experiment already pioneered the use of an optical cavity in the production region [23,24]).…”
