We start by reviewing the existing literature on the creation of black holes during high-
energy particle collisions, both in the absence and in the presence of extra, compact …

In models with large extra dimensions, particle collisions with center-of-mass energy larger
than the fundamental gravitational scale can generate nonperturbative gravitational objects …

This paper describes the CMS trigger system and its performance during Run 1 of the LHC.
The trigger system consists of two levels designed to select events of potential physics …

The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS)[1] is a multipurpose detector designed for the precision
measurement of leptons, photons, and jets, among other physics objects, in proton-proton as …

We argue that the highly studied black hole signatures based on thermal multiparticle final
states are very unlikely and only occur in a very limited parameter regime if at all. However …

Warped compactifications with branes provide a new approach to the hierarchy problem and
generate a diversity of four-dimensional thresholds. We investigate the relationships …

A bstract Motivated by the desire to understand chaos in the S-matrix of string theory, we
study tree level scattering amplitudes involving highly excited strings. While the amplitudes …

If extra spacetime dimensions and low-scale gravity exist, black holes will be produced in
observable collisions of elementary particles. For the next several years, ultrahigh-energy …

Ultrahigh energy cosmic rays create black holes in scenarios with extra dimensions and TeV-
scale gravity. In particular, cosmic neutrinos will produce black holes deep in the …

A search for microscopic black hole production and decay in pp collisions at a center-of-
mass energy of 7 TeV has been conducted by the CMS Collaboration at the LHC, using a …
