An Introduction to Mini Black Holes at LHC

Since the discovery of the Schwarzschild solution [1], black holes have fired mans imagination. Even more since it has been pointed out that, according to the theories with large extra dimensions (LXDs) [2] black holes (BHs) might even be produced at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)[3]. We review possible observables of this conjecture with special emphasis on the unclear final fate of such a BH and the possible existence of black hole remnants (BHR) [4–15]. When doing this, we will rely on the numerous estimates of the black hole production cross section, which agree at the level of their order of magnitude [16].
