Large Hadron Collider Phenomenology

Large Hadron Collider Phenomenology

With the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) under construction and due to come online in 2007 it is appropriate to engage in a focused review on LHC phenomenology. At a time when most of the experimental effort is centered on detector construction and software development it is vitally important to direct the experimental community and in particular new researchers on the physics phenomena expected from the LHC. Large Hadron Collider Phenomenology covers the capabilities of LHC from searches for the Higgs boson and physics beyond the standard model to detailed studies of quantum chromodynamics the B-physics sectors and the properties of hadronic matter at high energy density as realized in heavy-ion collisions. Written by experienced researchers and experimentalists this reference examines the basic properties and potentials of the machine detectors and software required for physics analyses. The book starts with a basic introduction to the standard model and its applications to the phenomena observed at high energy collisions. Later chapters describe the key technological challenges facing the construction of the LHC machine the operating detectors of the LHC and the vast computing grid needed to analyze the data. In the final sections the contributors discuss the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) explore questions and predictions for the LHC program and examine the physics opportunities of the LHC using information from the forward region. By surveying the difficult challenges of the LHC development while also assessing the novel processes that the LHC will perform Large Hadron Collider Phenomenology aids less seasoned physicists as well as existing researchers in discovering the numerous possibilities of the LHC.

AI for Creativity

AI for Creativity

What is computational creativity? Can AI learn to be creative? One of the human mind’s most valuable features is the capacity to formulate creative thoughts an ability that through quantum leap innovations has propelled us to the current digital age. However creative breakthroughs are easier said than done. Appearing less frequently and more sporadically than desired it seems that we have not yet fully cracked the creative code. But with the rapid advances in artificial intelligence which have come to provide an ever-closer proximity with the cognitive faculties of mankind can this emerging technology improve our creative capabilities? What will that look like and will it be the missing link in the man–machine enigma? AI for Creativity provides a fascinating look at what is currently emerging in the very cutting-edge area of artificial intelligence and the tools being developed to enable computational creativity that holds the propensity to dramatically change our lives.
