Recent understanding of the first order nature of the transition indicate a powerful ``hysteresis'' curve, where black objects may undergo fusion or fission during a tachyonic decay with Planck power and duration of the order of the size of the compact dimension L. Such explosions which scale with L could be test signatures for large extra dimensions in either astronomical observations or accelerators.10 pages, 5 figuresHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyExplosive black hole fission and fusion in large extra dimensionstext
