Résumé

Many of the current questions in particle physics can be addressed with the advent of the Large Hadron Collider, the world's most powerful particle accelerator, at the European research centre for particle physics, CERN, in Geneva, Switzerland.

Moreover, new space telescopes allow for better observations of high energy processes in space. This book presents the status of the field of particle physics at the highest available energies, and presents the recent results and experimental techniques, together with the future of the field. It will be needed and used by researchers from both high energy and astrophysics, since these communities increasingly join to answer key questions of physics.

L'auteur - Ian Brock

Ian Brock is the Scientific Manager of the Helmholtz Alliance "Physics at the Terascale". He is an experimental physics professor currently on leave of absence from the University of Bonn. During his career he has worked on seven different high-energy physics experiments in Europe and the USA (TASSO, Crystal Ball, CLEO, L3, ZEUS, ATLAS and CLEOc). He has a wide experience in the building and maintaining of detectors, data analysis and statistical tools. He was the main author of the Mn_Fit software package, which was widely used in the high-energy physics community over the past 20 years.

L'auteur - Thomas Schorner-Sadenius

Thomas Schorner-Sadenius studied physics in Hamburg an Munich and worked on experiments at CERN (Crystal Barrel, OPAL, ATLAS, CMS) and at DESY (H1, ZEUS). His main expertise is in data analysis in the field of QCD studies, in triggering in high-energy physics experiments and in the running and maintenance of large detector systems. Currently Thomas Schorner-Sadenius is the leader of Analysis Centre of the Helmholtz Alliance "Physics at the Terascale" and responsible for the shaping of the analysis-related programme of the Alliance.
