Abstract
Small black holes which can be located in the Earth interior are proposed as sources of superhigh energy radiation and their origin is not constrained to the Big Bang. We estimate the intensity and spectrum of massless and massive particles radiation due to the Hawking effect for black holes with masses of 108-1016 g and consider possibility of their registration according to the following peculiarities: high particle energies, thermal energetic spectrum, transientness or an explicit trend to the intensity and energy increase, and some expressed direction of emission connected with the source localization.
