The decay-time of non-commutative micro-black holes

TL;DR

This paper investigates the decay times of non-commutative micro-black holes across multiple dimensions, finding that their decay is extremely rapid, which has implications for their potential detection at the LHC.

Contribution

It provides a numerical analysis of non-commutative black hole decay times in up to ten dimensions, highlighting their extremely short lifespans.

Findings

Decay times are extremely short across all dimensions studied.

Non-commutative black holes leave remnants due to a minimum mass.

Results suggest challenges for detecting such black holes at the LHC.

Abstract

Non-commutative black holes are characterised by a minimum mass which would result in a remnant after the Hawking evaporation ends. We numerically study the decay of neutral non-commutative black holes for up to ten spatial dimensions and typical parameters that would make their production possible at the LHC. Neglecting possible accretion mechanism, we find that decay-times are extremely short.
