Detecting Tev Black Holes from Extensive Air Showers

Abstract

In models with large extra dimensions particle collisions with centre-of-mass energy larger than the fundamental gravitational scale can generate non-perturbative gravitational objects such as black holes and branes. They might be created in the next generation particle colliders or by neutrino induced air showers in the Earth's atmosphere. The decay of these non-perturbative gravitational objects is significantly different from other standard model processes. We present a comprehensive study of how to differentiate extensive air showers generated by TeV gravity effects from those generated by standard model interactions.
