On the Stability of Black Holes at the LHC

TL;DR

This paper investigates the stability of mini black holes potentially produced at the LHC, highlighting that certain theoretical models predict these black holes may have unstable horizons due to the ADS/CFT correspondence.

Contribution

It introduces the possibility of horizon instability in black holes at the LHC within the framework of ADS/CFT, contrasting with the standard expectation of rapid evaporation.

Findings

Black holes at the LHC may have unstable horizons in certain theories.

Horizon instability grows proportionally to the square of the distance from the collision point.

Implications for black hole detection and safety at high-energy colliders.

Abstract

The eventual production of mini black holes by proton-proton collisions at the LHC is predicted by theories with large extra dimensions resolvable at the Tev scale of energies. It is expected that these black holes evaporate shortly after its production as a consequence of the Hawking radiation. We show that for theories based on the ADS/CFT correspondence, the produced black holes may have an unstable horizon, which grows proportionally to the square of the distance to the collision point.
