25. It is noteworthy that (Formula presented) is a lower bound on the final mass of the BH which coincides with Hawking’s quasilocal mass. See S. Hawking, J. Math. Phys. 9, 598 (1968).

28. The validity of an impact parameter description in the semiclassical calculation can be ascertained by calculating the maximum angular momentum (Formula presented) in a given collision: for (Formula presented) one finds (Formula presented)
29. Because of the complexity of the final state, we assume that amplitude interference effects can be ignored. This permits the cross section to be written as an integration over impact parameter. One of us (H.G.) would like to thank Scott Thomas for a discussion on this point.

48. At relevant energies (Formula presented) the mean free path for (Formula presented)-ice interaction is roughly 120 cm, whereas the charged pion decay length is about (Formula presented) where (Formula presented) is the Lorentz factor. This implies that there is a negligible probability for pion decay and so the shower cools to energies where the LPM effect is small.

54. Note that the bounds on (Formula presented) given in Fig. 33 do not depend on the shape of the extra dimension and thus are valid for both flat and warped internal dimensions. See S. B. Giddings and E. Katz, J. Math. Phys. 42, 3082 (2001);
