Abstract

We study possible back-reaction and quantum gravity effects in the evaporation of black~holes which could be produced at the LHC through a modification of the Hawking emission. The corrections are phenomenologically taken into account by employing a modified relation between the black hole mass and temperature. The usual assumption that black holes explode around 1 TeV is also released, and the evaporation process is extended to much smaller final masses. We show that these effects could be observable and should therefore be taken into account when simulating micro-black hole events for the experiments planned at the LHC.
