Quantum production of black holes at colliders

We investigate black hole production in p p col- lisions at the Large Hadron Collider by employing the hori- zon quantum mechanics for models of gravity with extra spatial dimensions. This approach can be applied to pro- cesses around the fundamental gravitational scale and nat- urally yields a suppression below the fundamental gravita- tional scale and for increasing number of extra dimensions. The results of numerical simulations performed with the black hole event generator BLACKMAX are here reported in order to illustrate the main differences in the numbers of expected black hole events and mass distributions.
