Black Hole Production in Large Extra Dimensions at the Tevatron: Possibility for a First Glimpse on TeV Scale Gravity

Abstract

The production of black holes in large extra dimensions is studied for Tevatron energies. We find that black holes may have already been created in small abundance in $\bar{p}p$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=1.8$ TeV. For the next Tevatron run ($\sqrt{s}=2.0$ TeV) large production rates for black holes are predicted.
