Possibility of Catastrophic Black Hole Growth in the Warped Brane-World Scenario at the LHC

TL;DR

This paper analyzes black hole growth and decay at the LHC within the warped brane-world scenario, concluding that catastrophic growth is unlikely due to extra-dimensional effects on black hole dynamics.

Contribution

It provides a detailed time-dependent analysis of black hole evolution at the LHC considering extra-dimensional corrections, challenging previous concerns of catastrophic growth.

Findings

Black hole mass reaches a maximum limited by extra-dimensional effects.

No evidence of runaway black hole growth at the LHC.

Extra-dimensional corrections influence black hole luminosity and stability.

Abstract

In this paper we present the results of our analysis of the growth and decay of black holes possibly produced at the Large Hadron Collider, based on our previous study of black holes in the context of the warped brane-world scenario. The black hole mass accretion and decay is obtained as a function of time, and the maximum black hole mass is obtained as a function of a critical mass parameter. The latter occurs in our expression for the luminosity and is related to the size of extra-dimensional corrections to Newton's law. Based on this analysis, we argue against the possibility of catastrophic black hole growth at the LHC.
