- Quasi-stable black holes at LHC (2001)
- We address the production of black holes at LHC and their time evolution in space times with compactified space like extra dimensions. It is shown that black holes with life times of several hundred fm/c can be produced at LHC. The possibility of quasi-stable remnants is discussed.
- Quasi-stable black holes at the large hadron collider (2002)
- We address the production of black holes at LHC and their time evolution in space times with compactified space like extra dimensions. It is shown that black holes with life times of several hundred fm/c can be produced at LHC. The possibility of quasi-stable remnants is discussed.
- Black hole production in large extra dimensions at the Tevatron : possibility for a first glimpse on TeV scale gravity (2002)
- 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 pp collisions at ps = 1.8 TeV. For the next Tevatron run (ps = 2.0 TeV) large production rates for black holes are predicted.
- Suppression of high-P T jets as a signal for large extra dimensions and new estimates of lifetimes for meta stable micro black holes : from the early universe to future colliders (2002)
- We address the production of black holes at LHC in space times with compactified space-like large extra dimensions (LXD). Final state black hole production leads to suppression of high-PT jets, i.e. a sharp cut-o in (pp!jet+X). This signal is compared to the jet plus missing energy signature due to graviton production in the final state as proposed by the ATLAS collaboration. Time evolution and lifetimes of the newly created black holes are calculated based on the micro- canonical formalism. It is demonstrated that previous lifetime estimates of micro black holes have been dramatically underestimated. The creation of a large number of quasi-stable black holes is predicted with life times of hundred fm/c at LHC. Medium modifications of the black holes evaporation rate due to the quark gluon plasma in relativistic heavy ion collisions as well as provided by the cosmic fluid in the early universe are studied
- Tevatron—probing TeV-scale gravity today (2002)
- The production of black holes at Tevatron and LHC in spacetimes with compactified space-like large extra dimensions is studied. Either black holes can already be observed in ¯ pp collisions at s = 1.8 TeV or the fundamental gravity scale has to be above 1.4 TeV. At LHC the creation of a large number of quasi-stable black holes is predicted, with lifetimes beyond several hundred fm/c. A cut-off in the high-PT jet cross section is shown to be a unique signature of black hole production. This signal is compared to the jet plus missing energy signature due to graviton production in the final state as proposed by the ATLAS collaboration.
- Signatures of a minimal length scale in high precision experiments (2004)
- We discuss modifications of the gyromagnetic moment of electrons and muons due to a minimal length scale combined with a modified fundamental scaleMf . First-order deviations from the theoretical standard model value for g-2 due to these String Theory-motivated e ects are derived. Constraints for the new fundamental scale Mf are given.
- Black hole remnants at the LHC (2005)
- Within the scenario of large extra dimensions, the Planck scale is lowered to values soon accessible. Among the predicted effects, the production of TeV mass black holes at the LHC is one of the most exciting possibilities. Though the final phases of the black hole’s evaporation are still unknown, the formation of a black hole remnant is a theoretically well motivated expectation. We analyze the observables emerging from a black hole evaporation with a remnant instead of a final decay. We show that the formation of a black hole remnant yields a signature which differs substantially from a final decay. We find the total transverse momentum of the black hole event to be significantly dominated by the presence of a remnant mass providing a strong experimental signature for black hole remnant formation.
- Signatures of large extra dimensions (2004)
- String theory suggests modifications of our spacetime such as extra dimensions and the existence of a mininal length scale. In models with addidional dimensions, the Planck scale can be lowered to values accessible by future colliders. Effective theories which extend beyond the standart-model by including extra dimensions and a minimal length allow computation of observables and can be used to make testable predictions. Expected effects that arise within these models are the production of gravitons and black holes. Furthermore, the Planck-length is a lower bound to the possible resolution of spacetime which might be reached soon.
- Trapping black hole remnants (2005)
- Large extra dimensions lower the Planck scale to values soon accessible. The production of TeV mass black holes at the LHC is one of the most exciting predictions. However, the final phases of the black hole's evaporation are still unknown and there are strong indications that a black hole remnant can be left. Since a certain fraction of such objects would be electrically charged, we argue that they can be trapped. In this paper, we examine the occurrence of such charged black hole remnants. These trapped remnants are of high interest, as they could be used to closely investigate the evaporation characteristics. Due to the absence of background from the collision region and the controlled initial state, the signal would be very clear. This would allow to extract information about the late stages of the evaporation process with high precision.
- Schwarze Löcher in Extra-Dimensionen : Eigenschaften und Nachweis (2003)
- Wir haben uns in dieser Arbeit der möglichen Produktion Schwarzer Löcher in hochenergetischen Teilchenkollisonen unter Annahme einer Raumzeit mit großen Extra-Dimensionen gewidmet. Die Produktionsraten, die bei einer neuen fundamentalen Skala im Bereich Mf ~ 1 TeV zu erwarten sind, liegen für den LHC in der Größenordnung von ~ 10 hoch 8 Schwarzen Löchern pro Jahr. Diese hohe Anzahl begründet das Interesse an den Eigenschaften der produzierten Schwarzen Löchern und wirft die Frage auf, wie diese Objekte beobachtet werden können. Bei der Untersuchung der Eigenschaften dieser Schwarzen Löcher haben wir festgestellt, dass das Entstehen Schwarzer Löcher ab einer c.o.m.-Energie im Bereich der neuen Planck-Masse zu einer raschen Unterdrückung hochenergetischer Jets, wie sie in pp-Kollisionen entstehen, führt. Dies ist ein klares Signal und leicht zu beobachten. Unter Ansetzen des Mikrokanonischen Ensembles haben wir die Zerfallsrate der Schwarzen Löcher und ihre Lebensdauer berechnet. Es zeigt sich, dass diese Lebensdauer hoch genug ist, um ein zeitlich deutlich verzögertes Signal zu erhalten. Nimmt man an, dass die statistische Mechanik bis zur Größenordung Mf gülig bleibt, so gelangen die Schwarzen Löcher im Zuge ihrer Verdunstung in einen quasi-stabilen Zustand und ein Rest verbleibt. Die Lebenszeit ist von der Anzahl der Dimensionen abhängig und lässt so Rückschlüsse auf diesen Parameter zu. Im Falle (Mf ~ TeV, d > 5) liegt sie für Energien von ~ 10 TeV in der Größenordung 100 fm/c. Eine geometrische Quantisierung der Strahlung legt außerdem nahe, dass die Schwarzen Löcher nicht restlos verdampfen können, sondern ein stabiler Überrest verbleibt. Diese Ergebnisse sind in [202, 203, 205] veröffentlicht worden.
