Project description
Laying solid theoretical foundations for interpreting LHC data
Over the next few years, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN will multiply its data set by a factor of 20, enabling precision measurements for a large number of elementary particle reactions. To interpret and use these data to determine fundamental constants of nature, the theoretical description of the measured quantities must be just as accurate. The EU-funded TOPUP project will develop new analytical, algebraic and numerical methods for describing physical observables at the LHC. Researchers will expand perturbation theory to the third non-trivial order. New methods for computing multi-loop scattering amplitudes will also be developed.
