Abstract

We argue that the signals expected from the evaporation of mini black holes - predicted in TeV-scale gravity models with large extra dimensions, and possibly produced in ultra high energy collisions in the atmosphere - are quite similar to the characteristics of the Centauro events, an old mystery of cosmic-ray physics.
