Last Updated: 2026-02-05 16:02:09
Abstract
An introduction to the theoretical aspects and experimental tests of QCD, with emphasis on perturbative QCD and related experiments at colliders.
Objective
Knowledge acquired on basics of perturbative QCD, both of theoretical and experimental nature. Ability to perform simple calculations of perturbative QCD, as well as to understand modern publications on theoretical and experimental aspects of perturbative QCD.
Content
QCD Lagrangian and Feynman Rules QCD running coupling Parton model DGLAP Basic processes Experimental tests at lepton and hadron colliders Measurements of the strong coupling constant
