Abstract

Just as Chap. 1 is not meant to be a complete introduction to electroweak symmetry breaking but is aimed at introducing the aspects of Higgs physics most relevant to the LHC this section cannot cover the entire field of QCD. Instead, we will focus on QCD as it impacts LHC physics and searches for new physics at the LHC, like for example the Higgs searches discussed in the first part of the lecture.
