Qcd and Collider Physics

Zusammenfassung A detailed overview of high-energy collider physics emphasising the role of QCD. Topics covered include the QCD Lagrangian! the properties of asymptotic freedom and colour confinement which derive from it! jets! heavy quarks! electroweak gauge bosons! Higgs bosons and methods of measuring the strong coupling constant. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; 1. Fundamentals of QCD; 2. Asymptotic freedom and confinement; 3.
