Black-hole grazing collisions

Using the tools developed in the previous delivrables, we will perform simulations of grazing collisions of black holes in higher dimensions and extract the gravitational waves from these collisions, the scattering threshold, i.e. the impact parameter below which the collision leads to formation of a single black hole and above which the colliding objects scatter off to infinity. The possibility of super-Planckian curvature will be explored extending existing results in the literature. The results will be compared with shock-wave and particle calculations which furthermore serve as possible methods to extrapolate results to infinite boost parameters.
