Black hole production at the Large Hadron Collider

The talk upon which this note is based attempted to describe the conjectured stages of microscopic black hole production-extra-and- decay in extra-dimensional scenarios at the LHC. The talk tried to make clear which of these stages could be regarded as theoretically sound, and which should be thought of as mere guesswork. The talk also described new work by Harris et.al. who have successfully calculated the (4+n)-dimensional "grey-body factors" which describe the slight differences expected between the emissions of black holes and classical black bodies.
