Paus, Lecture 8.882 – LHC Physics: Introductory Lecture3Lecture OutlineIntroduction of Course PersonnelObjective of this CourseOrganization of the Lectures●Prerequisites●Schedule: lectures and recitations●Course gradeCourse Content OverviewOverview of LHC Project and PhysicsC. Paus, Lecture 8.882 – LHC Physics: Introductory Lecture4The LecturerTChristoph Pausphysics careerstarted PhD 1992 at L3 (e+e--, LEP, CERN)in 1998 moved to CDF (pp, TeVatron, FNAL)since 2006 mostly CMS (pp, LHC, CERN)physics measurementsprecision electroweak (Z boson mass & width, EWK parameters)B physics directly related to CKM matrix (Standard Model)Standard Model Higgs boson searchcontact interactions, magnetic monopoles, pentaquarks, excited oniaC. Paus, Lecture 8.882 – LHC Physics: Introductory Lecture5Objective of this Course - 8.882OCourse focusintroduce experimental methodsperform typical measurements at the LHC and TeVatronppNot the purpose of this courseprovide fully fledge theoretical backgroundquantum field theory courses good for thatalso nuclear and particle physics standard g raduate coursesprovide in depth discussion of how detectors worknuclear and particle physics standard graduate coursesmaybe specialized course for detector design and constructionmGoal in practical termslearn how to do research as an experimentalist at LHCbe prepared to go to CERN and start an analysis.. or at least know how experimentalists try to do their jobC. Paus, Lecture 8.882 – LHC Physics: Introductory Lecture6Organization of the CourseOPrerequisites●special relativity, quantum physics●good to have heard particle physics 1+2 but not neededgDates●Monday,Wednesday 1:00pm – 2:30pm (Kolker room)●it seems Monday/Wednesday 2:00pm – 3:30pm fits better●recitation to be arranged with recitation instructor, TBA●office hours to be arranged (appointment per e-mail)●video office hours very useful and easy to setupvExecution●most lectures will be taught over video●third time done at MIT, nevertheless nothing is set in stone●open to changes of course setup according to your commentsC. Paus, Lecture 8.882 – LHC Physics: Introductory Lecture7Organization of the CourseExecution continued●participation from outside MIT/CERN welcome (see FNAL)●lecture slides will be available from the Web●core of the course are four analyses, performed by you●3 use real CDF data (Ebeam= 1 TeV)●1 uses Monte Carlo simulation of CMS detector (Ebeam= 5-7 TeV)●recommended to pair up and work together●analyses have to be handed in as short notes●conference at the end of the course, one topic per studentCourse grade●basis: 3 analyses notes and final project presentationC. Paus, Lecture 8.882 – LHC Physics: Introductory Lecture8TechnicalitiesTAccess to computersget account at MIT Tier 2 centerrequest account: http://www.lns.mit.edu/compserv/cms-acctappl.htmlhAccess to course documentation and “log book”we use a TWiki to run and document the coursetry it as your personal “log book”example: user = ChristophPaus (yours will be equivalent)eVideo toolsfor remote participants: use EVO at evo.caltech.eduregister and follow instructions to start EVO toolsbefore we used VRVS, EVO is still new, but worked quite welldetails explained on the course TWikiC.
