Searching for Micro-black Holes at the LHC

In models with extra spatial dimensions the fundamental scale of gravity could be as low as 1TeV and black holes may then be produced at the LHC. I will give a somewhat critical overview of theoretical issues involved in the phenomenological description of their detection and conclude by showing some possible modifications induced by quantum gravity effects near the fundamental scale of gravity.
