- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
- Quasi-stable black holes at LHC (2001)

- 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.
- Probing the minimal length scale by precision tests of the muon g-2 (2003)
- Modifications of the gyromagnetic moment of electrons and muons due to a minimal length scale combined with a modified fundamental scale M_f are explored. Deviations from the theoretical Standard Model value for g-2 are derived. Constraints for the fundamental scale M_f are given.
- 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 in the Planck regime (2003)
- String theory suggests the existence of a minimum length scale. An exciting quantum mechanical implication of this feature is a modification of the uncertainty principle. In contrast to the conventional approach, this generalised uncertainty principle does not allow to resolve space time distances below the Planck length. In models with extra dimensions, which are also motivated by string theory, the Planck scale can be lowered to values accessible by ultra high energetic cosmic rays (UHECRs) and by future colliders, i.e. M f approximately equal to 1 TeV. It is demonstrated that in this novel scenario, short distance physics below 1/M f is completely cloaked by the uncertainty principle. Therefore, Planckian effects could be the final physics discovery at future colliders and in UHECRs. As an application, we predict the modifications to the e+ e- to f+ f- cross-sections.
