Overview of the perturbative QCD session at Moriond '96: theoretical techniques and current issues, primarily as applied to jet physics at colliders.
I present introductory lectures on the use of effective field theory methods in QCD at low energies.
A brief review of jet physics is presented with an emphasis upon open theoretical problems (non-perturbative domain; hadronization and confinement) and new phenomena (hadroproduction in heavy ion collisions).
In this set of four lectures, we provide an elementary introduction to light cone field theory and some of its applications in high energy scattering.
These lectures are intended to provide the theoretical basis of describing high-energy particle collisions at a level appropriate to graduate students in experimental high energy physics. They are supposed to be familiar with quantum…
Selected applications of perturbative Quantumchromodynamics (QCD) to predictions of the Standard Model for processes at high energy colliders are reviewed with emphasis on past successes and future problems. This is a personal retrospective…
Modern-day `testing' of (perturbative) QCD is as much about pushing the boundaries of its applicability as about the verification that QCD is the correct theory of hadronic physics. This talk gives a brief discussion of a small selection of…
In this talk, some important QCD effects in Higgs physics, supersymmetry and top physics, as well as the factorization and resummation techniques in QCD are reviewed.
The goal of these lectures, oriented towards the students just entering the field, is to provide an elementary introduction to QCD and the physics of nuclear interactions at high energies. We first introduce the general structure of QCD and…
This is a written version of two lectures given at the First School on Field Theory and Gravitation in Vitoria (Brasil) April 15-19, 1997. We discuss the foundation of QCD as the theory of strong interactions and the perturbative analysis…
It is unusual to find QCD factorization explained in the language of quantum information science. However, we will discuss how the issue of factorization and its breaking in high-energy QCD processes relates to phenomena like decoherence…
These lectures give an introduction to thermal perturbation theory, hard thermal loops, and their use in a nonperturbative, approximately self-consistent resummation of the thermodynamical potentials of quantum chromodynamics.
In these lectures we provide an introduction to the theory of QCD at very high baryon density. We begin with a review of some aspects of quantum many-body system that are relevant in the QCD context. We also provide a brief review of QCD…
Recently methods have been developed which exploit the chiral symmetry of QCD in order to make rigorous contact with low energy particle physics phenomenology. In these lectures we present a pedagogical introduction to these techniques.
The aim of these lectures is to provide (experimental particle physics Ph.D.) students with an introduction to some of the core concepts and methods of QCD that are relevant in an LHC context.
Many analyses at the collider utilize the hadronic jets that are the footprints of QCD partons. These are used both to study the QCD processes themselves and increasingly as tools to study other physics, for example top mass reconstruction.…
The basic concepts relevant for the theoretical description of deep inelastic scattering within the QCD improved parton model are introduced. Recent developments in low $x$ DIS and in deep inelastic diffraction are briefly summarised. This…
Effective field theory methods provide a convenient approach to study static observables in field theory at finite temperature. In this talk, I will outline the construction of the effective field theory that describes effective observables…
The study of the structure of strongly interacting dense matter via hard jets is reviewed. High momentum partons produced in hard collisions produce a shower of gluons prior to undergoing the non-perturbative process of hadronization. In…
