The dissertation investigates an alternative way to calculate grey-body factors in the large D-limit of general relativity for non-rotating micro black holes. Properties of possible signals of micro black hole decay that might be seen in the detectors were also investigated using the most recent Monte Carlo micro black hole event generators.

COBISS.SI-ID: 4073723The findings so far of the Pierre Auger Observatory and those of the Telescope Array define some requirements for a possible next generation global cosmic ray observatory: it needs to be considerably increased in size, it needs enhanced sensitivity to composition, and it has to cover the full sky. At the Pierre Auger Observatory, AugerNext aims to conduct some innovative initial research studies on a design of a sophisticated hybrid detector fulfilling these demands.

COBISS.SI-ID: 4156155The upgrade of the Auger Observatory will allow us to estimate the primary mass of the highest energy cosmic rays on a shower-by-shower basis. In addition to measuring the mass composition the upgrade will open the possibility to search for light primaries (and micro black holes) at the highest energies, to perform composition-selected anisotropy studies, and to search for new phenomena including unexpected changes of hadronic interactions. After introducing the physics motivation for upgrading the Auger Observatory the planned detector upgrade is presented.
