An extract from Dr. R. Plaga’s Paper: “On the potential catastrophic risk from metastable quantum-blackholes produced at particle colliders” Version 3, 9. August 2009:
Gefahr von Detonationen in Atombombenstärke in der Nähe des Beschleunigers LHC: 3.4 A local accident at CERN?
The luminosity of a mBH accreting at the Eddington limit with the parameters assumed above corresponds to 12 Mt TNT equivalent/sec[15], or the energy released in a major thermonuclear explosion per second. If such a mBH would accrete near the surface of Earth the damage they create would be much larger than deep in its interior. With the very small accretion timescale (≪ 1 second) that was found with the parameters in subsection 3.2, a mBH created with very small (thermal or subthermal) velocities in a collider would appear like a major nuclear explosion in the immediate vicinity of the collider. The risk from collider-produced black holes is not necessarily an Armageddon, but could be a locally contained catastrophe.
