TeV String Theories, Mini Black Holes and Trans-GZK Cosmic Rays
The existence of cosmic rays transcending the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin (GZK) cutoff appear to be a fact of life. While there is still some controversy regarding the observational data, it appears that opinions converge toward acknowledging the existence of trans-GZK events. Clearly, the issue will be satisfactorily clarified once future detectors, such as OWL, EUSO, the Pierre Auger Observatory,...
متن کاملCosmic String Loops Collapsing to Black Holes
We examine the question of collapse of Turok’s two-parameter family of cosmic strings. We first perform a classification of the strings according to the specific time(s) at which the minimal string size is reached during one period. We then obtain an exact analytical expression for the probability of collapse to black holes for the Turok strings. Our result has the same general behavior as prev...
متن کاملSources of sub - GZK cosmic rays
We analyze the existing evidence that BL Lacertae objects (BL Lacs) are sources of the highest-energy cosmic rays. We argue that three independent signatures observed in the real data — (1) improvement of correlations with corrections of trajectories for the Galactic magnetic field; (2) connection between γ-ray and UHECR emissions; (3) non-uniform distribution of correlating rays over the sky —...
متن کاملBlack Holes at Future Colliders and in Cosmic Rays
One of the most dramatic consequences of low-scale (∼ 1 TeV) quantum gravity would be copious production of mini black holes at future accelerators and in ultra-high-energy cosmic ray interactions. Hawking radiation of these black holes is constrained mainly to our (3+1)-dimensional world and results in their rapid evaporation. We review selected topics in the mini-black-hole phenomenology, suc...
متن کاملStrings, Black Holes and the Extreme Energy Cosmic Rays
In a large class of string and string inspired models the string excitation and black hole pictures invoked as an explanation of trans-GZK cosmic ray events are equivalent. Single particle inclusive distributions are asymptotically thermal at the Hagedorn temperature. The hadron multiplicities are reminiscent of multiplicities in heavy nucleus initiated interactions.
