Synopsis

Practical Collider Physics provides the first self-contained reference guide for the practical know-how involved in hadron collider physics, including both theoretical and experimental topics, and the statistical knowledge required to analyse hadron collider data.

About this title

About the Authors

Andy Buckley is a Senior Lecturer in particle physics in the School of Physics & Astronomy at the University of Glasgow. Most of his work is on experimental studies with the ATLAS experiment, part of the Large Hadron Collider at the CERN lab in Geneva. He also works with theorists on modelling of hadron collisions, and on ways of constraining the prospective models of new physics that they come up with.

Chris White is a Reader in Theoretical Physics at Queen Mary University of London, where he lectures in particle physics theory. He has worked on various aspects of collider physics, including Monte Carlo simulation, the description of low momentum ("soft") radiation in QCD, and the behaviour of the top-quark and Higgs bosons. In recent years, he has studied new relationships between theories like QCD, and quantum gravity.

Martin White is a Professor and Deputy Dean of Research in the Faculty of Sciences at the University of Adelaide, where he leads a group in particle astrophysics phenomenology, with connections to machine learning and novel data science techniques in Bayesian and frequentist inference. He teaches physics at undergraduate and masters level, and has developed a new interdisciplinary curriculum in data science.
