4 +## Phenomenology in High-Energy Physics

12 +**Introduction:**
13 +
14 +Phenomenology in high-energy physics serves as a critical interface between theory and experiment.
15 +While theoretical models—particularly those based on Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD)—allow us to predict observables such as differential cross-sections, these predictions must be transformed into concrete numerical results before they can be compared to experimental data.
16 +This transformation is at the heart of phenomenological work: it requires both analytical understanding and computational implementation.
17 +
18 +In this project, the student will learn how to translate theoretical expressions for differential cross-sections into numerical simulations, calculate relevant observables, and compare these results with real-world data from high-energy experiments such as those at the LHC or RHIC.
19 +The focus will be on inclusive jet and hadron production, with the possibility of exploring more complex observables such as dijet correlations or extending the analysis to heavy-ion collisions.
20 +Through this hands-on experience, the student will develop practical skills in numerical computing, gain insight into the logic of perturbative QCD calculations, and understand how phenomenological tools connect theoretical predictions with experimental measurements.

23 +**Work Description:**
24 +
25 +* meeting and discussion (2hrs/day)
26 +* unsupervised work (4hrs/day)
27 +
28 +
29 +**Expected outcomes:**
30 +
31 +* given a differential cross-section, write a program that can calculate the differential distribution of an observable
32 +* reproduce existing single inclusive jet/hadron experimental data (LO)
33 +* reproduce existing dijet-related experimental data (LL)
34 +* implement applications in heavy-ion collisions (optional)
35 +
36 +
37 +**Requirements:**
38 +
39 +* basic Fortran, or C/C++ programming
40 +* preferred knowledge in high-energy physics
41 +* preferred knowledge in numerical analysis
