Practical Collider Physics

Practical Collider Physics provides a self-contained summary of all of thenecessary theoretical, experimental and statistical knowledge required toanalyse hadron collider data, focussing on the skills and techniques that arerarely covered in standard textbooks.It covers topics including partondistribution functions, resummation, parton showers, hadronisation, and theunderlying event and jet algorithms, all of which are vital for understandingthe form and function of Monte Carlo generators. A detailed overview of the ATLAS and CMSdetectors is also provided, along with their object-reconstruction algorithms,followed by a pedagogical introduction to computing and data-processingapproaches, data-analysis basics, and detailed methods for high-precision measurementsand particle searches. This book is appropriate for honours-levelundergraduates and masters students, as well as supporting taught-course andpractical aspects of a Ph D in particle physics.Key Features Provides a detailed reference on current LHC analysis techniques Covers all of the necessary theoretical, experimental and statisticalknowledge required to perform a complete hadron collider data analysis A unique collaboration between particle experimentalists and theorists Covers complex topics at a level that makes it accessible to final year undergraduatestudents Additional ISBNs0750324422, 0750324457, 0750324430, 9780750324427, 9780750324458, 9780750324434, 0750324449, 9780750324441, 1730750324441Read More Practical Collider Physics 1st Edition is written by Andy Buckley; Chris White; Martin White and published by IOP Publishing (Institute of Physics).
