Black Holes at the LHC?
 A lecture brought to you by the Black Hole Society and Australian Institute of Physics.
Wednesday 18th March, 5.30pm
Refreshments served from 5.15pm
Chemistry Lecture Theatre 1, Arthur Hambly Building
Guest Speaker: Dr Elizabeth Winstanley, Professor of Mathematical Physics at the University of Sheffield.
Brane world models in string theory suggest that our universe is a slice, or "brane", of a higher-dimensional space-time. One consequence of these models is that copious numbers of mini black holes may be formed by collisions at the LHC. In this talk we will review aspects of the formation and subsequent evaporation of these mini-black holes, and discuss why they will not swallow up the entire Earth.
