EDITORIAL REVIEWS
Product Description With the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) under construction, and due to come on line in 2007, it is timely for a review to focus on LHC phenomenology. At a time when most of the experimental effort is directed to detector construction and software development, it is vitally important to focus the experimental community, and in particular new researchers, on the physics that the LHC will deliver. The range of physics covered by the LHC is very broad: from searches for the Higgs boson and physics beyond the Standard Model, to detailed studies of Quantum Chromodynamics, the B-physics sectors and the properties of hadronic matter at high energy density as realised in heavy-ion collisions. This book includes contributions from leading researchers on these topics at a pedagogical level, starting with a basic introduction to the Standard Model and its most likely extensions. In particular it will inform readers about the basic properties and capabilities of the machine, detectors and software required for physics analyses. Each chapter of the book provides a tutorial style introduction to the topic under discussion, written at a level suitable for postgraduate students and others with a basic knowledge of high energy physics, and it will be an invaluable reference for existing researchers in the field.
