在电弱标度之外存在额外的自由度，可能允许在接近水平的中微子空气簇射中形成黑洞。在本文中，我们研究这些黑洞的光后代的平均属性。我们的分析表明，黑洞衰变引起的深穿透淋浴的电磁组件，这与传统的中微子相互作用，允许一个很好的表征的现象对背景有很大的不同。水平中微子簇射中自然产生的黑洞可以用俄歇空气簇射阵列探测和研究。由于俄歇的预期黑洞产生率为$> 1$事件/年，这个宇宙射线天文台可能在探测具有额外维度和TeV尺度引力的模型方面具有潜在的强大功能。
The existence of extra degrees of freedom beyond the electroweak scale may allow the formation of black holes in nearly horizontal neutrino air showers. In this paper we examine the average properties of the light descendants of these black holes. Our analysis indicates that black hole decay gives rise to deeply penetrating showers with an electromagnetic component which differs substantially from that in conventional neutrino interactions, allowing a good characterization of the phenomenon against background. Naturally occurring black holes in horizontal neutrino showers could be detected and studied with the Auger air shower array. Since the expected black hole production rate at Auger is $> 1$ event/year, this cosmic ray observatory could be potentially powerful in probing models with extra dimensions and TeV-scale gravity.
