Particle Collisions onQuark and Gluon level Erik Johansson Stockholm University IPPOG Innsbruck 2012
QUARK AND GLUON COLLISIONS • Dynamics • Gluon exchange • Gluon fusion • Quark-antiquark annihilation • Quark and gluon interactions • 4 jets – hadronisation • Higgs particle production • Decaying to ZZ • Decaying to gg • Top-antitop production • Decaying to almost every quark and lepton • Z particle production • Decaying to an electron and a positron Erik Johansson
PHYSICS IN ABOUT A MINUTE • Physics in a minute • Each animation is about a minuteand a half long • About 70 MB HD (QuickTime, H264 compact.) • Simplifications • No Lorentz contraction • No virtual loops • Start with the proton • A complex object Erik Johansson
ONE EXAMPLE (SECOND EDITION) • Higgs production • Gluon-gluon fusion (without top loop) • Decay to ZZ decaying to leptons • The decay to gg also done • First edition: • http://www.physto.se/~kej/animations/ Erik Johansson
