Description

One of the triumphs of modern particle physics has been the extent to which Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) has successfully accounted for the strong interaction processes observed at high-energy particle colliders, for example the production of heavy quarks and jets of particles, and the short-distance parton structure of the proton. This book gives a detailed overview of collider physics with special emphasis on the study of QCD. After a general description of the QCD Lagrangian, and the properties of asymptotic freedom and colour confinement which derive from it, the most important applications at high-energy colliders are described in detail. These include the production of jets, heavy quarks, electroweak gauge bosons and Higgs bosons. The various methods of measuring the strong coupling constant are summarised. Many of the theoretical results are calculated from first principles, and the book will be both a textbook and a valuable source of reference material for all particle physicists.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Very good reference for graduate students and researchers in high-energy physics and relativistic heavy-ion physics. I have recommended it to my graduate students. Now it is a textbook used by my institute.

⭐This book serves as a useful reference for active high-energy physicists. The discussions, and especially calculations, cover a variety of Standard Model formalisms, which can be generalized to new physics calculations. The text by Barger and Philips,

⭐, is also very useful.

⭐This book is for graduate students and researchers in elementaryparticle physics. It covers how experimental results fromhigh energy particle colliders are related to the theory, withan emphasis on the theory of quantum chromodynamics. The authorsare three of the leading experts in this area. In my opinion, thebook isn’t perfect, but it’s very good.

⭐Please note that the authors maintain an update and erratumpage at […] END
