Resumen

If TeV-scale gravity is realized in nature, microscopic black holes (BHs) should be produced in atmospheric cosmic ray collisions. Their decays, largely via the Hawking process, would trigger extensive air showers that could be detected at facilities coming on line later this decade. In this talk we describe the main characteristics of these BH-mediated showers and show how earth-skimming neutrinos may act as a powerful discriminator of BH events.
