Possibility of catastrophic black hole growth in the warped brane-world scenario at the LHC

In this paper, we present the results of our analysis of the growth and decay of black holes possibly produced at the Large Hadron Collider, based on our previous study of black holes in the context of the warped brane-world scenario. The black hole mass accretion and decay is obtained as a function of time, and the maximum black hole mass are obtained as a function of a critical mass parameter. The latter occurs in our expression for the luminosity and is related to the size of extra-dimensional corrections to Newton’s law. Based on this analysis, we argue against the possibility of catastrophic black hole growth at the LHC.
