Introduction to Collider Physics
by Maxim Perelstein
Publisher: arXiv 2010
Number of pages: 47
Description:
These lecture notes introduce students to some of the basic ideas and tools required for theoretical analysis of collider data. Several examples of Standard Model processes at electron-positron and hadron colliders are considered to illustrate these ideas. In addition, a general strategy for formulating searches for physics beyond the Standard Model is outlined.
