In this review I sketch the basic criteria and boundary conditions which have guided the design of the LHC detectors. The discussion will concentrate on the so-called general-purpose experiments, ATLAS and CMS. After an overview of the…
A brief review of large-N_c QCD and the 1/N_c expansion is given. Important results for large-N_c mesons and baryons are highlighted.
Several issues related to the structure of the QCD vacuum are reviewed. We concentrate mostly on results concerning instantons and center vortices.
I provide a brief summary of the theory presentations at ISMD 2011 related to the phenomenology of small-x QCD evolution and its application to particle production and fluctuations in high-energy hadron and heavy-ion collisions. I also…
I review some of the recent progress in QCD at high temperature and density, with a focus on the nature of the high-temperature transition; cold and dense matter; and hadron properties and transport coefficients at high temperature.
Recent progress in modeling QCD for hadron physics through truncated Dyson-Schwinger equations is reviewed. Special emphasis is put upon comparison of dressed quark propagators and the dressed quark-gluon vertex with lattice-QCD results.
We start by remarks on the scientific and societal context of today's theoretical physics. Major classes of models for physics to be explored at the LHC are then reviewed. This leads us to propose an LHC timeline and a list of potential…
This is an overview of B physics that can be done at the LHC with the purpose of searching for new physics.
These notes aim to provide a pedagogical introduction to Lattice QCD. The topics covered include the scope of LQCD calculations, lattice discretization of gauge and fermion (naive, Wilson, and staggered) actions, doubling problem, improved…
We review issues involved in understanding the vacuum, long-distance and low-energy structure of non-Abelian gauge theories and QCD. The emphasis will be on the role played by instantons.
I offer a brief summary, with commentary, of theoretical contributions to Moriond QCD 2008.
I give a brief introduction to lattice QCD for non-specialists.
I will give a review with some comments of the parallel session on QCD and the related talks in the Quark Matter'97 meeting.
This is an informal overview of methods and results on the QCD phase diagram and lattice termodynamics aimed at specialists in nearby fields.
We do not have the ability to perform precise calculations of long-range strong interaction effects, because the effective QCD coupling is not small and so we cannot use perturbation theory. Nevertheless, I show that we know a lot, though…
We discuss theoretical issues in radiative rare kaon decays. The interest is twofold: to extract useful short-distance information and understand the underlying dynamics. We emphasize channels where either we can understand non-perturbative…
With an eye toward LHC processes in which theoretical precisions of 1 percent are desired, we introduce the theory of the simultaneous YFS resummation of QED and QCD to compute the size of the expected resummed soft radiative threshold…
Current phenomenological studies of jet observables at colliders are clearly limited by the theoretical uncertainties inherent in the next-to-leading order QCD description. We discuss the recent progress made towards the calculation of QCD…
The Large Hadron-electron Collider LHeC is a proposed upgrade of the LHC. It would add an electron beam to the LHC, and make it possible to study electron-proton and electron-nucleus collisions at very high energies. We present some of the…
We review the physics to be investigated at LHC. We also describe the main parameters of CMS and ATLAS detectors.
