This thesis examines the possible creation of (4+n)-dimensional black holes at Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, consequent decays of such black holes via Hawking radiation and probable formation of Higgs boson among black hole decay products. Firstly, a theoretical background was presented including black hole physics, Hawking radiation, large extra dimensions, brane-bulk models, 4+n black holes and Higgs mechanism. Then, a simulation modeling black hole formation and decay including 130 GeV Higgs as a decay product at LHC interfaced with a detector simulation of Compact Muon Selenoid (CMS) was analysed focusing especially on the Higgs decay channels and properties of Hawking radiation. Both theoretical assumptions and simulation analysis point out that black hole production and the signatures of black hole decay products could carry crucial information on dimensionality and structure of spacetime Furthermore there is a significant possibility to observe 130 GeV Higgs boson especially in the Black Hole -> H -> jj and Black Hole -> H ا> WW/ZZ -> lnln decay channels.

Pulsar spin-down by a fallback disk and the P-P diagram Alpar, MA; Ankay, A; Yazgan, E (American Astronomical Society, 2001-08-10) Neutron stars may be surrounded by fallback disks formed from supernova core collapse. If the disk circumscribes the light cylinder, the neutron star will be an active radio pulsar spinning down under the propeller spin-down torque applied by the disk as well as the usual magnetic dipole radiation torque. Evolution across the P-P diagram is very rapid when pulsar spin-down is dominated by the propeller torque. This explains the distribution of pulsars in the P-P diagram.
Measurement of the cosmic ray muon flux seasonal variation with the OPERA detector Agafonova, N.; et. al. (IOP Publishing, 2019-10-01) The OPERA experiment discovered muon neutrino into tau neutrino oscillations in appearance mode, detecting tau leptons by means of nuclear emulsion films. The apparatus was also endowed with electronic detectors with tracking capability, such as scintillator strips and resistive plate chambers. Because of its location in the underground Gran Sasso laboratory, under 3800 m.w.e., the OPERA detector has also been used as an observatory for TeV muons produced by cosmic rays in the atmosphere. In this paper the ...
Superposition of FLRW universes GÜRSES, METİN; Heydarzade, Yaghoub; Tekin, Bayram (IOP Publishing, 2020-06-01) We show that (1) the Einstein field equations with a perfect fluid source admit a nonlinear superposition of two distinct homogenous Friedman-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) metrics as a solution, (2) the superposed solution is an inhomogeneous geometry in general, (3) it reduces to a homogeneous one in the two asymptotes which are the early and the late stages of the universe as described by two different FLRW metrics, (4) the solution possesses a scale factor inversion symmetry and (5) the solution impli...
Kundt solutions of minimal massive 3D gravity Deger, Nihat Sadik; Sarıoğlu, Bahtiyar Özgür (AMER PHYSICAL SOC, ONE PHYSICS ELLIPSE, COLLEGE PK, MD 20740-3844 USA, 2015-11-04) We construct Kundt solutions of minimal massive gravity theory and show that, similar to topologically massive gravity (TMG), most of them are constant scalar invariant (CSI) spacetimes that correspond to deformations of round and warped (A) dS. We also find an explicit non-CSI Kundt solution at the merger point. Finally, we give their algebraic classification with respect to the traceless Ricci tensor (Segre classification) and show that their Segre types match with the types of their counterparts in TMG.
Non-Einsteinian black holes in generic 3D gravity theories Gürses, Metin; Şisman, Tahsin Çağrı; Tekin, Bayram (AMER PHYSICAL SOC, ONE PHYSICS ELLIPSE, COLLEGE PK, MD 20740-3844 USA, 2019-09-21) The Banados-Teitelboim-Zanelli (BTZ) black hole metric solves the three-dimensional Einstein's theory with a negative cosmological constant as well as all the generic higher derivative gravity theories based on the metric; as such it is a universal solution. Here, we find, in all generic higher derivative gravity theories, new universal non-Einsteinian solutions obtained as Kerr-Schild type deformations of the BTZ black hole. Among these, the deformed nonextremal BTZ black hole loses its event horizon while...
