Fortgeschrittene Methoden in Collider-Physik

What it is about

You engage with analytical and numerical methods for calculating processes in collider physics. Topics include, among others, virtual amplitudes, infrared divergences, subtraction schemes, as well as resummation and basics of parton showers. In the end you will be able to apply modern techniques for calculating QCD amplitudes, describe the structure of iterated integrals and multiple polylogarithms, and understand IR problems and resummation.

What you will be able to do

• Apply modern techniques for calculating virtual scattering amplitudes in QCD
• Understand mathematical foundations of iterated integrals and multiple polylogarithms
• Describe causes of infrared divergences
• Calculate finite observables in collider experiments
• Recognize the origin of large logarithms and understand resummation concepts
• Explain the physics and idea of parton showers
