💻 Please bring your own laptop with MadGraph5 installed for the last two lectures.
These lectures introduce the key concepts of the Standard Model of particle physics: how predictions of the theory are tested experimentally and how cross sections are computed. The free, open-source MadGraph5 simulation package is introduced, with hands-on simulation of Higgs and top–antitop production at the LHC.
These lectures introduce the goals, structure and research programme of the LHCb experiment at CERN. LHCb measures decays of particles containing b and c quarks with high precision to test the Standard Model, study CP violation and rare decays, and search for signs of new physics. The first part covers the LHCb detector subsystems and how proton–proton collision data is recorded and processed by trigger and reconstruction algorithms. The second part covers the analysis workflow: data selection, background suppression, invariant-mass distributions, signal extraction, branching ratio and CP asymmetry measurements.
This short course explains the basic ideas of quantum mechanics and particle physics using simple discrete toy models with two and three states, tracing the path from qubits to elementary particle physics.
