## Monte Carlo event generator for black hole production and decay in proton-proton collisions – QBH version 1.02.(English)Zbl 1220.85010

Summary: We describe the Monte Carlo event generator for black hole production and decay in proton-proton collisions – QBH version 1.02. The generator implements a model for quantum black hole production and decay based on the conservation of local gauge symmetries and democratic decays. The code in written entirely in C++ and interfaces to the PYTHIA 8 Monte Carlo code for fragmentation and decays.
