Abstract |
We present simulations of collisions of boosted black hole binaries performed in the framework of numerical relativity. We demonstrate how a dimensional reduction allows for recasting Einstein's equations in D dimensional spacetimes with SO(D-3) symmetry into a 3+1 dimensional problem as employed successfully in numerical relativity studies of astrophysical black holes as sources of gravitational waves. We discuss emission of gravitational waves, the scattering threshold and the final BH spin in merging configurations and their relevance for the interpretation of particle collisions performed at the LHC for probing TeV-gravity scenarios. |
