Axially Symmetric Black Hole Skyrmions

Abstract

It has been known that a B=2 skyrmion is axially symmetric. We consider the Skyrme model coupled to gravity and obtain static axially symmetric black hole solutions numerically. The black hole skyrmion no longer has integer baryonic charge but has fractional charge outside the horizon as in the spherically symmetric case. Therefore, the solution represents a black hole partially swallowing a deuteron. Recent studies of theories with large extra dimensions suggest an effective Planck scale of order a TeV and thus the deuteron black hole may be produced in the Linear Hadron Collider (LHC) in future.
