Abstract
One of the consequences of the existence of extra-dimensions and TeV-scale gravity would be the production of Micro-Black-Holes (MBH) in the central collisions of two particles with high enough energy. A natural scenario to investigate this hypothesis is provided by the collisions of cosmic ray particles belonging to the ultra-high-energy tail of the cosmic ray spectrum, interacting with the Earth’s atmosphere and originating, as a consequence, extended air showers (EAS). In this paper we present insights on the effects of intermediate MBH states on typical EAS features, on the basis of theoretical simulations by state-of-the-art event generators for describing the MBH formation and evaporation processes, followed by the propagation of the emitted elementary particles and hadrons in the atmosphere.
