Notes
- 1.
A major accident occurred in 2008 in which one of the superconducting LHC magnets “quenched” or lost its superconducting state, resulting in rapid heating and expansion of the liquid helium coolant, enough to cause a small explosion.
- 2.
\(1\,\text {cm}^2 = 1\times 10^{24}\, \text {pb}\).
- 3.
In practice, multiple hard-scattering events could also occur, but the rate for this to occur would be doubly rare.
- 4.
At these energies, the distinction is negligible and, in practice, the terms are used interchangeably.
- 5.
As noted in Sect. 2.4, since the calorimeters measure energy and not momentum, as a matter of convention, the missing transverse momentum is also known as the missing transverse energy \(E_{\textrm{T}}/\), even though, strictly speaking, energy is a scalar quantity.
