We investigate formation of an apparent horizon (AH) in high-energy particle collisions in four- and higher-dimensional general relativity, motivated by TeV-scale gravity scenarios. The goal is to estimate the prefactor in the geometric cross section formula for the black hole production. We numerically construct AHs on the future light cone of the collision plane. Since this slice lies to the future of the slice used previously by Eardley and Giddings (gr-qc/0201034) and by one of us and Nambu (gr-qc/0209003), we are able to improve the prefactor estimates. The black hole production cross section increases by 40-70% in the higher-dimensional cases, indicating larger black hole production rates in future-planned accelerators than previously estimated. We also determine the mass and the angular momentum of the final black hole state, as allowed by the area theorem.

  1. Bootstrapping black holes at low impact parameter

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    After subtracting the eikonal carrier, the residual SDR spectrum in six dimensions organizes into a cap-saturated low-impact band, an empty gap, and Regge-like ridges whose weak-coupling edge is the G_N=0 baseline.

  2. Energy correlators in four-dimensional gravity

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Gravitational energy correlators in four dimensions are computed at one loop, shown to be infrared-finite, and resummed in the back-to-back limit by soft-graviton exponentiation.
