CTEQ-IPPP School on QCD Analysis and Phenomenology; St. Andrews, Scotland

Project: Research

Project Details

Description

At the froniters of elementary particle physics, experiments seek to produce previously-unobserved states of matter and to detect forces unseen since the big bang. To interpret these searches, it is necessary to understand the workings of the strong force, quantum chromodynamics (QCD), which binds together the nuclei of atoms, and which plays a crucial role in all such experiments. The CTEQ Summer Schools are designed to equip junior experimentalists in elementary particle physics with the background in QCD necessary to interpret current, and to envision new, probes of the structure of the universe, incuding investigations of QCD itself. CTEQ Schools involve close interaction between students and distinguished lecturers. The 2001 school is a collaboration between CTEQ (Coordinated Theoretical-Experimental Project on QCD) and the United Kingdom's Institute for Particle Physics Phenomenology, based in Durham, England.
