Particle Physics at ECM: Phenomenology

IX Jornada Cientifica d’ECM, February 7th, 2009

•Once Upon a Time ~ 2000 yrs ago

• Introduction

an economical description, consistent to our “daily” observation;

at higher energy scale <-> at shorter distances, new phenomena come up and new degrees of freedom are needed!

The theoretical calculation can be performed only numerically.

In order to achieve the required precision, about 1 billion of billions operations are necessary, corresponding to an integral over 50 millions degrees of freedom and to the inversion of

thousands of matrices with 100 millions of elements
