How classical are TeV-scale black holes?

TL;DR

This paper investigates how quantum and thermal effects modify the properties of TeV-scale black holes, suggesting they become less classical and decay faster, with implications for collider experiments.

Contribution

It introduces combined corrections from the generalized uncertainty principle and thermal fluctuations to black hole thermodynamics.

Findings

Increased Hawking temperature due to corrections

Decreased entropy leading to faster decay

Black holes become less classical with these effects

Abstract

We show that the Hawking temperature and the entropy of black holes are subject to corrections from two sources: the generalized uncertainty principle and thermal fluctuations. Both effects increase the temperature and decrease the entropy, resulting in faster decay and ``less classical'' black holes. We discuss the implications of these results for TeV-scale black holes that are expected to be produced at future colliders.
