We investigate possible signatures of long-lived (or stable) charged black holes at the Large Hadron Collider. In particular, we find that black hole remnants are charac- terised by quite low speed. Due to this fact, the charged remnants could, in some cases, be very clearly distinguished from the background events, exploiting d E /d X measure- ments. We also compare the estimate energy released by such remnants with that of typical Standard Model particles, using the Bethe–Bloch formula.

Abstract
We investigate possible signatures of long-lived (or stable) charged black holes at the Large Hadron Collider. In particular, we find that black hole remnants are charac- terised by quite low speed. Due to this fact, the charged remnants could, in some cases, be very clearly distinguished from the background events, exploiting d E /d X measure- ments. We also compare the estimate energy released by such remnants with that of typical Standard Model particles, using the Bethe–Bloch formula.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
