Black Holes at the Large Hadron Collider

  • First Online:
Quantum Aspects of Black Holes

Part of the book series: Fundamental Theories of Physics ((FTPH,volume 178))

Abstract

The very successful 2010–2012 operation of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has changed the landscape of particle physics. The long-awaited Higgs boson has been discovered, and—yet—there are no signs of new physics beyond the standard model. The LHC set stringent limits on the existence of TeV-scale new physics phenomena, including models with low-scale quantum gravity, which predict—among other phenomena—copious production of black holes at the LHC. This chapter reviews the current state of these searches and the limits on the possibility to produce black holes at the LHC, as well as future directions, which will be made possible by a significant increase in the LHC energy in 2015 and beyond.

Notes

  1. 1.

    In the literature the scale \(M_D\) is often referred to as \(\Lambda _\pi \).

  2. 2.

    Some of the properties of the “stringy” subplanckian “precursors” of black holes are discussed in Ref. [31] and later in this chapter.

  3. 3.

    Note that this expression differs from the analogous expression (9) in Ref. [22] by a \(\sqrt{2}\) factor; the difference stems from the fact that the mass parameter \(M\) used in Ref. [22] is different from the true 5D Planck scale, that enters in the Lagrangian of the model, which we refer to as \(M\) in this chapter.
