It appears that they have produced what they are calling black hole like effects, but are not black holes. More of something that is equivlent to a black hole due to the sudden decelaration durring the collision.
Basicaly the Thermal Radiation matches the exact amout of expected hawking radiation of a similar massed true black hole, and particals do not escape during the first few moments of the collision.
