TY - JOUR A1 - Koch, Benjamin A1 - Bleicher, Marcus A1 - Stöcker, Horst T1 - Exclusion of black hole disaster scenarios at the LHC T2 - Physics Letters B N2 - The upcoming high energy experiments at the LHC are one of the most outstanding efforts for a better understanding of nature. It is associated with great hopes in the physics community. But there is also some fear in the public, that the conjectured production of mini black holes might lead to a dangerous chain reaction. In this Letter we summarize the most straightforward arguments that are necessary to rule out such doomsday scenarios.
