Production of tidal-charged black holes at the Large Hadron Collider

TL;DR

This paper investigates the potential for producing tidal-charged black holes at the Large Hadron Collider, concluding that such production is highly unlikely given current theoretical models and collider capabilities.

Contribution

It provides an analysis of tidal-charged black hole production probabilities at the LHC, extending previous theoretical solutions to practical collider scenarios.

Findings

Production probability at LHC is very low.

Black holes, if produced, could have extended lifetimes.

Current collider energies are insufficient for frequent production.

Abstract

Tidal-charged black hole solutions localized on a three-brane in the five-dimensional gravity scenario of Randall and Sundrum have been known for some time. The solutions have been used to study the decay, and growth, of black holes with initial mass of about 10 TeV. These studies are interesting in that certain black holes, if produced at the Large Hadron Collider, could live long enough to leave the detectors. I examine the production of tidal-charged black holes at the Large Hadron Collider and show that it is very unlikely that they will be produced during the lifetime of the accelerator.
