Microscopic black holes

Author

  • Jakob Merouani

Summary, in English

In this report I will write about the possibility of black hole creation when introducing the
theory of extra spatial dimensions in the visible (3+1) dimensional universe.
First I will give a little background on the postulation of black hole formation and talk about
what properties black holes have in general, for example the event horizon, singularity and the
formation of the black hole is discussed. Other theories like general relativity and the gauge
theory will be discussed before discussing the main theme.
In the main theme I will discuss the basic concepts of extra dimensions talking about the
phenomena that would appear if extra dimensions exist. After this I will discuss the
ADD-model and it's interpretation of extra dimensions before I discuss black hole formation
in extra dimensional scenarios and Hawking radiation and how it affect black holes.
At last I will discuss two experiments on extra dimensions and black holes. The first
experiment is conducted in the main detector at Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Switzerland
where the CMS collaboration look at the transverse energy T E of events from pp collisions
with signals similar to expected signals for black holes. In the second experiment, which is
conducted in the Tevatron in the USA, the CDF collaboration look at the missing transverse
energy ETmiss for events from pp collisions with one or two high energy jets, where the
missing energy is expected to correspond to gravitons.
