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.
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
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.
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.
Recent calculations applying statistical mechanics indicate that in a setting with compactified large extra dimensions a black hole might evolve into a (quasi-)stable state with mass close to the new fundamental scale M f. Black holes and therefore their relics might be produced at the LHC in the case of extra-dimensional topologies. In this energy regime, Hawking's evaporation scenario is modified due to energy conservation and quantum effects. We reanalyse the evaporation of small black holes including the quantisation of the emitted radiation due to the finite surface of the black hole. It is found that observable stable black hole relics with masses sim 1-3 M f would form which could be identified by a delayed single jet with a corresponding hard momentum kick to the relic and by ionisation, e.g. in a TPC.
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., Mf≈ 1 TeV. It is demonstrated that in this novel scenario, short distance physics below 1/Mf 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−→f+f− cross-sections.
