Hadronic Jets (Second Edition) (eBook, ePUB)

An introduction

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Jet physics is an incredibly rich subject detailing highly collimated bunches of hadrons and other particles produced by the hadronization of a quark or gluon in a particle physics or heavy ion experiment. These objects are known as hadronic jets. Their production constitutes one of the most striking phenomena that can be observed in high-energy collisions of elementary particles.

This second edition course text provides a general overview of jet physics by presenting the basic experimental and theoretical problems arising when dealing with jets, and describing the solutions proposed in recent years. This book covers jet algorithms, the theory of strong interactions (QCD), and how, from a set of observed jets, it is possible to extract information about the elementary event that has produced them. As a second edition, this book builds upon and complements the first through updated and significantly expanded chapters. Fully worked-out examples within each chapter invite the reader to appreciate the relevant questions that arise in cutting-edge research on jet physics.

This book offers a general overview of hadronic jets to non-experts in particle physics, in particular scientists not directly involved in the field, as well as students, both experimentalists and theorists, who intend to start a research project in high-energy physics.

Autorenporträt

Prof Andrea Banfi is a theoretical particle physicist, expert in the development of theoretical tools for the calculation of observables involving hadronic jets at high-energy colliders. In particular, he is active in the calculation of many observables of relevance for the physics programme of the Large Hadron Collider. He obtained his PhD at the University of Milano in 2002, and then worked as a Research Associate for various institutions in Europe, namely NIKHEF (Amsterdam), the Cavendish Laboratory (Cambridge), the University of Milano-Bicocca, ETH Zurich, and as Assistant Professor by the University of Freiburg. In 2013, he joined the Theoretical Particle Physics group of the University of Sussex, where he is now Professor of Theoretical Physics.
