| Purpose of the lectures |
|---|
| This series of mini-lectures first of all wants to shed light on various aspects of QCD which are |
| -- always used by everybody (for example in MC programs), |
| -- frequently discussed (for example in seminar and conference talks), |
| -- not always understood (by me, for example), and |
| -- hardly ever asked about (because nobody dares asking about things which for everybody else seem to be clear and obvious). |
|
In this sense it aims mainly at diploma and PhD students. On the other hand, as mentioned above, there is a large number of things that are not clear or obvious for me. A lecture series is a perfect opportunity for me to get a deeper understanding of some points. In that sense, I hope for lively discussions of the topics presented in the lectures. |
| Style of the lectures |
|---|
|
I would like these small lectures or seminar to be very informal. So I will
present only very few hand-written slides, maybe do some calculations on the
blackboard, and will try to be as pedagogical as possible. Questions are not
only welcome but even vital for everybody's understanding (and the quality of
my future presentations of the same material ;-) ...). In addition, as was suggested by Robert Klanner, it might prove useful to have discussion sessions about material which is accessible for everybody like, for example, the QCD section in the PDG. Well, I think details have to be discussed with all possible listeners ... |
| Program |
|---|
|
The following list so far is neither comprehensive nor in any sensible
order. Details of the program will be made available later; I am open for
suggestions. Gauge theories. Renormalisation. Running coupling. Parton splittings. Multiple splittings and parton evolution. Coherent branching. DGLAP. Resummation. Fixed-order calculations. NLO+PS matching. |
| Literature | |
|---|---|
| Also the list of literature is neither comprehensive nor in any sensible order. I will try to point out in which book or article the relevant points are best explained, according to my personal taste. | |
| -- Webber/Stirling/Ellis: QCD and Collider Physics (the infamous `Pink Book'). | |
| -- Bjorken and Drell: Relativistische Quantenmechanik. | |
| -- Quigg: Gauge Theories of the strong, weak, and electromagnetic interactions. | |
| -- Field: Applications of perturbative QCD. | |
| -- Yndurain: Strong Interactions. | |
