Quantum Chromodynamics: main concepts
This lecture covers Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) focusing on experimental aspects. It discusses hadronization and jets, gluon discovery, and the importance of understanding QCD at colliders. The lecture also explores quark studies in electron-positron colliders, the color conservation in quark production, and the measurements related to quark color. Additionally, it delves into the discovery of the gluon, running coupling constants in QED and QCD, and hadron-hadron collisions. The presentation concludes with discussions on pseudorapidity coverage in detectors and color flow visualization in detectors through machine learning applications.
