In models with extra dimensions, a black hole evaporates both in the bulk and
on the visible brane, where standard model fields live. The exact emissivities
of each particle species are needed to determine how the black hole decay
proceeds. We compute and discuss the absorption cross-sections, the relative
emissivities and the total power output of all known fields in the evaporation
phase. Graviton emissivity is highly enhanced as the spacetime dimensionality
increases. Therefore, a black hole loses a significant fraction of its mass in
the bulk. This result has important consequences for the phenomenology of black
holes in models with extra dimensions and black hole detection in particle
colliders.
