Hard interactions of quarks and gluons: a primer for LHC physics
REVIEW ARTICLEJ M Campbell1, J W Huston2 and W J Stirling3
Show affiliationsIn this paper, we will develop the perturbative framework for the calculation of hard-scattering processes. We will undertake to provide both a reasonably rigorous development of the formalism of hard-scattering of quarks and gluons as well as an intuitive understanding of the physics behind the scattering. We will emphasize the role of logarithmic corrections as well as power counting in αS in order to understand the behaviour of hard-scattering processes. We will include 'rules of thumb' as well as 'official recommendations', and where possible will seek to dispel some myths. We will also discuss the impact of soft processes on the measurements of hard-scattering processes. Experiences that have been gained at the Fermilab Tevatron will be recounted and, where appropriate, extrapolated to the LHC.
