Gauss-Bonnet Black Holes at the LHC : Beyond the Dimensionality of Space
The Gauss - Bonnet invariant is one of the most promising candidates for a
quadratic curvature correction to the Einstein action in expansions of
supersymmetric string theory. We study the evaporation of such Schwarzschild -
Gauss - Bonnet black holes which could be formed at future colliders if the
Planck scale is of order a TeV, as predicted by some modern brane world models.
We show that, beyond the dimensionality of space, the corresponding coupling
constant could be measured by the LHC. This opens new windows for physics
investigation in spite of the possible screening of microphysics due to the
event horizon.Comment: Accepted by Phys. Lett.
