DESCRIPTION:
"Basic Tools" according to A Customer. In this book you can find both a very brief and clear introduction to the theoretical picture of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and lots of phenomenological applications. It contains descriptions and data of many particles processes as some important exact calculations. It should be of interest to graduate students who intend to work in QCD. It is suggested knowledge of elementary particles physics and field theory. I liked this book because it gave to me a comprehensive overview of the physics of high-energy colliders.. Davison E. Soper said A practical introduction to collider physics. This book is for graduate students and researchers in elementaryparticle physics. It covers how experimental results fromhigh energy particle colliders are related to the theory, withan emphasis on the theory of quantum chromodynamics. The authorsare three of the leading experts in this area. In my opinion, thebook isn't perfect, but it's very good..

After a general description of the QCD Lagrangian, and the properties of asymptotic freedom and colour confinement which derive from it, the most important applications at high-energy colliders are described in detail. These include the production of jets, heavy quarks, electroweak gauge bosons and Higgs bosons. Many of the theoretical results are calculated from first principles, and the book will be both a textbook and a valuable source of reference material for all particle physicists.. This book gives a detailed overview of collider physics with special emphasis on the study of QCD. One of the triumphs of modern particle physics has been the extent to which Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) has successfully accounted for the strong interaction processes observed at high-energy particle colliders, for example the production of heavy quarks and jets of particles, and the short-distance parton structure of the proton. The various methods of measuring the strong coupling constant are summarised
