Perturbative quantum chromodynamics (QCD)

M. Cacciari, Y. Dokshitzer (emeritus), B. Fuks, H.-S. Shao

The QCD research activities at the LPTHE mainly include (but do not restrict to) the following aspects:

• jet physics: design of jet algorithms, jet (sub)structure studies and applications at colliders;
• perturbative QCD: higher-order quantum corrections both in QCD and in the electroweak theory, resummation of QCD radiation;
• understanding of the structure of the nucleon;
• flavour physics: dynamics of quarkonia and B-hadrons, open charm issues.
