This course will be based on the book High
Pt Physics at hadron colliders (HPtP). This book provides a
comprehensive introduction to high transverse momentum reactions at
hadron (proton-proton or proton-antiproton) colliders. It begins by
introducing the Standard Model of high energy physics and describes
the specialized detectors used. It then gives a general treatment of
the reactions to be studied and summarizes the state of the art in
hadron collider physics, defined by Tevatron results. The
experimental program at the detectors being built for the Large
Hadron Collider at CERN is described, with details of the search
program and the general strategy to find the postulated Higgs
particle. Speculations of physics beyond the Standard Model are also
discussed. This book is suitable for graduate students and
researchers in high energy physics. It incorporates a shareware
program that enables the reader to reproduce many of the examples and
exercises given in the text, and go beyond the scope of text into
open-ended study.
The book makes extensive use of a single
computational tool, CompHEP, both in the examples given in the text
proper, and in the exercises. The aim was to expand the range of the
text from a slightly formal academic presentation to a more
interactive mode for the student, giving “hands on”
experience. The plan was that the student would work the examples
given in the text and the exercises and then be fully enabled to do
problems on his or her own.
CompHEP
is a package for evaluation of Feynman diagrams, integration
over multi-particle phase space and event generation. It
runs on Linux, MacOS,
as well as on Windows
See how to run batch jobs and other exercises.
