Product 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 high-energy 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 color confinement that 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 summarized. Many of the theoretical results are calculated from first principles. |

High-Energy Physics Background by Extra Dimensions (The Fourth Dimension)  5 Stars
September 13, 2008
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, COLLIDER PHYSICS (Frontiers in Physics), is also very useful.

A practical introduction to collider physics by Davison E. Soper (Eugene, OR USA) 5 Stars
March 01, 2002
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.

Basic Tools  4 Stars
March 30, 2000
In this book you can find both a very brief and clear introduction to the theoretical picture of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and lots of phenomenological applications. It contains descriptions and data of many particles processes as some important exact calculations. It should be of interest to graduate students who intend to work in QCD. It is suggested knowledge of elementary particles physics and field theory. I liked this book because it gave to me a comprehensive overview of the physics of high-energy colliders.

by Aneesh V. Manohar (Author), Mark B. Wise (Author)
Understanding the physics of heavy quarks gives physicists the unique opportunity to test the predictions of Quantum Chromodynamics and the Standard Model. Heavy Quark Physics provides an exciting introduction to this new area of high energy physics. Two leading experts in the field review the standard model, the basics of heavy quark spin-flavor symmetry, and detail how it can be applied to the classification of states, decays and fragmentation. The heavy quark effective theory is developed,...
