Phys. Rev. D 77, 064029 (2008) [10 pages]Discriminating supersymmetry and black holes at the CERN Large Hadron ColliderReceived 28 January 2008; published 28 March 2008 We show how to differentiate the minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model from black hole events at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Black holes are simulated with the CATFISH generator. Supersymmetry simulations use a combination of pythia and isajet. Our study, based on event-shape variables, visible and missing momenta, and analysis of dilepton events, demonstrates that supersymmetry and black hole events at the LHC can be easily discriminated. © 2008 The American Physical Society URL:
