The lecture course is intended for master students, PhD students and postdocs. It covers a basic introduction to QCD and the QCD evolution equations (DGLAP, BFKL and CCFM).
A basic introduction to Monte Carlo methods will be given, and these methods will be applied to calculate cross sections and the evolution of parton densities.
During the course we will learn, how to write a small program to integrate a partonic cross section. We will apply Monte Carlo methods to solving the DGLAP evolution equation and to calculate the transverse momentum spectrum of Higgs production in proton-proton collisions at the LHC.
The course is held at DESY, in blocks of 1-2 day lectures with exercise sessions in the afternoon.
The lecture will be transmitted via EVO:
