The authors' main claim In this letter, we show that the parameter range which was considered by the CMS collaboration is actually out of the validity range of semi-classical black hole picture so that the Monte-Carlo simulation result which was crucially used in the analysis still needs further solid scientific basis.

The compiled record

The paper's own sentences, arranged. Each label is drawn from a closed vocabulary; the number beside it is the probability the classifier gave that label. Numbers in the tables are the authors', checked by code. No sentence in this record was written by a model.

Recently the CMS collaboration at the LHC reported "the first direct limit on black hole production at a particle accelerator" using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35/pb of pp-collision at a center of mass energy of 7 TeV. Even though the result has a strong impact on future searches, the interpretation lacks enough theoretical support. In this letter, we show that the parameter range which was considered by the CMS collaboration is actually out of the validity range of semi-classical black hole picture so that the Monte-Carlo simulation result which was crucially used in the analysis still needs further solid scientific basis.
