The book offers the reader an overview of practically all aspects of the strong interaction necessary to understand and appreciate modern particle phenomenology at the energy frontier. It assumes a working knowledge of quantum field theory at the level of introductory textbooks used for advanced undergraduate or in standard postgraduate lectures. The book expands this knowledge with an intuitive understanding of relevant physical concepts, an introduction to modern techniques, and their application to the phenomenology of the strong interaction at the highest energies. Aimed at graduate students and researchers, it also serves as a comprehensive reference for LHC experimenters and theorists. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book offers an exhaustive presentation of the technologies developed and used by practitioners in the field of fixed-order perturbation theory and an overview of results relevant for the ongoing research programme at the LHC. It includes an in-depth description of various analytic resummation techniques (which form the basis for our understanding of the QCD radiation pattern and how strong production processes manifest themselves in data) and a concise discussion of numerical resummation through parton showers. This forms the basis of event generators for the simulation of LHC physics, and their matching and merging with fixed-order matrix elements. It also gives a detailed presentation of the physics behind the parton distribution functions (which are a necessary ingredient for every calculation relevant for physics at hadron colliders such as the LHC)\u003cem\u003e and an introduction to non-perturbative aspects of the strong interaction, including inclusive observables such as total and elastic cross sections, and non-trivial effects such as multiple parton interactions and hadronization. The book concludes with a useful overview contextualising data from previous experiments such as the Tevatron and the Run I of the LHC which have shaped our understanding of QCD at hadron colliders.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-15867840\"\u003eJohn Campbell\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-15867841\"\u003eJoey Huston\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-15867843\"\u003eFrank Krauss\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/20\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 768\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 7.10w x 2.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780192871961\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 019287196X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-SCI\"\u003eScience\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-SCI051000\"\u003ePhysics | Nuclear\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-SCI\"\u003eScience\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-SCI057000\"\u003ePhysics | Quantum Theory\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn Campbell, \u003cem\u003eSenior Scientist, Senior Scientist, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory\u003c\/em\u003e, Joey Huston, \u003cem\u003eMSU Foundation Professor of Physics and Astronomy, Department of Physics, Michigan State University\u003c\/em\u003e, Frank Krauss, \u003cem\u003eProfessor for Particle Physics, Department of Physics, Durham University\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJohn Campbell is Senior Scientist at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJoey Huston is MSU Foundation Professor of Physics and Astronomy in the Physics and Astronomy Department at Michigan State University. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrank Krauss is Professor for Particle Physics at the Institute for Particle Physics Phenomenology and the Physics Department at Durham University.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44585511092461,"sku":"9780192871961","price":83.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_ee33484d-1ef3-47d9-86fe-63d39b2776fb.jpg?v=1702163804","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/the-black-book-of-quantum-chromodynamics-a-primer-for-the-lhc-era-9780192871961","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
