Hengstberger Symposium "Extra Dimensions and Mini Black Holes"

24 Jul 2009, 09:00 → 25 Jul 2009, 20:30 Europe/Berlin

Internationales Wissenschaftsforum Heidelberg (IWH)

Stefan Groot Nibbelink (ITP, U Heidelberg), Victor Lendermann (KIP, U Heidelberg)

The goal of the Symposium is to bring together theoreticians and experimentalists in the fields of particle physics, astrophysics, cosmology and gravity, in order to discuss the present status of the searches for signatures of extra dimensions. The discussion should be held especially considering the upcoming data taking at the Large Hadron Collider. A particular focus will be put on the hypothetic production of mini black holes predicted by models of extra dimensions.
