Searching for extra dimensions in high energy cosmic rays
چکیده انگلیسی

We present a study of the decay of an intermediate mini black hole at the first impact of a cosmic ray particle with the atmosphere, in the context of D-brane world scenarios with TeV scale gravity and large extra dimensions. We model the decay of the black hole using the semi-classical approximation and include the corrections coming from energy loss into the bulk. Extensive simulations show that mini black hole events are characterized by essentially different multiplicities and wider lateral distributions of the air showers as a function of the energy of the incoming primary, as compared to standard events. Implications for their detection and some open issues on their possible discovery are also briefly addressed.
