Precise theoretical predictions for Large Hadron Collider physics

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is collecting high-precision experimental data in the unexplored multi-TeV energy region, allowing us to test the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics at an unprecedented accuracy. In the absence of clear direct signals of new physics phenomena, precision studies will give us an unique opportunity to fully exploit the LHC discovery potential. Accurate theoretical predictions for SM cross sections and associated distributions are thus indispensable. This task requires the calculation of higher -order radiative corrections in perturbation theory, both in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and in the electroweak theory, together with a quantitative understanding of the non-perturbative aspects of QCD.

In this talk, I will review some recent theoretical advances that have  substantially improved the accuracy of theoretical predictions for some key LHC processes.
 

 

The Seminar will be held as both in-person event, in Sala Consiliare at Department of Physics, Cittadella di Monserrato, Cagliari University and also online on Zoom.
