Signatures of black holes at the LHC

TL;DR

This paper explores potential signatures of microscopic black holes at the LHC, using detailed simulations that incorporate various physical effects to improve the accuracy of predictions.

Contribution

It introduces a comprehensive simulation framework including inelasticity, emissivities, conservation laws, and energy loss effects for black hole events at the LHC.

Findings

Black hole signatures can be identified with specific event characteristics.

Inelasticity and energy loss significantly affect black hole evaporation signals.

Remnant formation possibilities impact the expected experimental signatures.

Abstract

Signatures of black hole events at CERN's Large Hadron Collider are discussed. Event simulations are carried out with the Fortran Monte Carlo generator CATFISH. Inelasticity effects, exact field emissivities, color and charge conservation, corrections to semiclassical black hole evaporation, gravitational energy loss at formation and possibility of a black hole remnant are included in the analysis.
