- Title
BLACK HOLE CROSS-SECTION AT THE LHC.
- Authors
GINGRICH, DOUGLAS M.
- Abstract
Black hole production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was first discussed in 1999. Since then, much work has been performed in predicting the black hole cross-section. In light of the start up of the LHC, it is now timely to review the state of these calculations. We review the uncertainties in estimating the black hole cross-section in higher dimensions. One would like to make this estimate as precise as possible since the predicted values, or lower limits, obtain for the fundamental Planck scale and number of extra dimensions from experiments will depend directly on the accuracy of the cross-section. Based on the current knowledge of the cross-section, we give a range of lower limits on the fundamental Planck scale that could be obtained at LHC energies.
