Abstract
In models of large extra dimensions, gravitational effects may become relevant to particle processes at the TeV scale. In this scenario, extra-dimensional graviton production and graviton exchange events occur at sub-TeV scales, whereas black holes and branes are formed at super-TeV scales. Black holes could soon be detected in particle colliders and in Earth’s atmosphere by cosmic ray telescopes on the ground and in space. The phenomenology of gravitational events is significantly different from that of standard model processes. We review the differences between extensive air showers generated by black holes and standard model interactions.
