Strings, Black Holes and the Extreme Energy Cosmic Rays
arXiv:hep-ph/0307099 · doi:10.1016/j.astropartphys.2006.06.013
Abstract
In a large class of models the string excitation and black hole pictures invoked as an explanation of trans-GZK cosmic ray events are equivalent. Single particle inclusive distributions are thermal at the Hagedorn temperature. The hadron multiplicities are reminiscent of multiplicities in heavy nucleus initiated interactions.
