1 MICRO BLACK HOLES NEUTRON STAR SAFETY ASSURANCE CONCERNS TO PARTICLE COLLIDER OPERATION OF TeV-SCALE P-P COLLISIONS

Astrophysical safety assurances in White Dwarf (WD) longevity and Neutron Star (NS) longevity were proposed in the 2008 safety report [1] commissioned at CERN regarding the existential risks to Earth from micro black holes (MBH) created in Proton-Proton (P-P) collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in the event of hypothetical stable TeV-scale MBH. The WD safety assurance being stated as only applicable to MBH of dimensions D<=8 and at no greater than 14 TeV energy levels, the NS safety assurance was therefore provided as the solitary astrophysical safety assurance (other than Hawking Radiation theory) outside this remit. Amid suggestion in outsider-debate [2][3][4] that the process of Hawking Radiation (HR) theorised on such TeV-scale MBH may prove less effective in practice than in its mathematical model, a closer look at the NS assurance is reasoned herein. This short paper presents concerns regarding the NS safety assurance as a solitary safety assurance for MBH of greater dimensions, and/or for MBH created at greater energy levels (> 14 TeV) than those which a solid WD safety assurance [3] can provide
