Cyclotrons: Magnetic Design and Beam Dynamics
by Simon Zaremba, Wiel Kleeven - arXiv.org , 2018
Classical, isochronous, and synchro-cyclotrons are introduced. Transverse and longitudinal beam dynamics in these accelerators are covered. The problem of vertical focusing and iscochronism in compact isochronous cyclotrons is treated in some detail.

Introduction to Relativistic Transport Theory
by Hendrik van Hees - Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universitaet , 2015
The aim of these lectures is to provide a self-contained presentation of the general foundations of relativistic transport theory with the aim to provide the theoretical tools for the application of such methods to relativistic heavy-ion collisions.

Theory of Electromagnetic Fields
by Andrzej Wolski - arXiv , 2011
We discuss electromagnetic fields, with an emphasis on aspects relevant to radiofrequency systems in particle accelerators. We review Maxwell's equations and show that there are solutions representing the propagation of electromagnetic waves.

Physics Searches at the LHC
by David E. Morrissey, Tilman Plehn, Tim M.P. Tait - arXiv , 2010
With the LHC up, the focus of high energy physics will soon turn to an interpretation of LHC data in terms of the physics of electroweak symmetry breaking and the TeV scale. We present here models for new TeV-scale physics and their LHC signatures.

Searching for the Higgs Boson
by D. Rainwater - arXiv , 2007
These are lectures on Higgs boson collider searches. The author first reviews the Standard Model searches, then covers in-depth what comes after a candidate discovery at LHC, and finally discusses the MSSM extension to the Higgs sector.

Collider Physics
by D. Zeppenfeld - arXiv , 1999
Introduction to physics at e+e- and hadron colliders. A selection of processes is used to illustrate the strengths and capabilities of the different machines. The discussion includes W pair production and chargino searches at various colliders.

Introduction to Collider Physics
by Maxim Perelstein - arXiv , 2010
This is an introduction to some of the basic ideas and tools required for theoretical analysis of collider data. Several examples of Standard Model processes at electron-positron and hadron colliders are considered to illustrate these ideas.

Hard Interactions of Quarks and Gluons: a Primer for LHC Physics
by J.M. Campbell, J.W. Huston, W.J. Stirling - arXiv , 2006
The authors develop the perturbative framework for the calculation of hard scattering processes. The text provides both a rigorous development of the formalism of hard scattering of quarks and gluons and an intuitive understanding of the physics.
