Particle Physics Phenomenology

3 Oct 2011, 08:45 → 7 Oct 2011, 18:15 Europe/Copenhagen

aud A (Niels Bohr Institute)

The intention of this course is to give an overview of the main physics concepts that underlie our understanding of high energy collisions , specifically proton-proton events at the LHC machine.

Teachers: Prof. Torbjorn Sjostrand.
Assistants: Dr. Alberto Guffanti, Dr. Stefania Xella.

Sponsored by:

The faculty of Natural Science (Copenhagen University)
