This book covers a very broad spectrum of experimental and theoretical activity in particle
physics from the searches for the Higgs boson and physics beyond the Standard Model to
detailed studies of Quantum Chromodynamics the B-physics sectors and the properties of
hadronic matter at high energy density as realised in heavy-ion collisions. Starting with a
basic introduction to the Standard Model and its most likely extensions the opening section of
the book presents an overview of the theoretical and phenomenological framework of hadron
collisions and current theoretical models of frontier physics. In part II discussion of the
theory is supplemented by chapters on the detector capabilities and search strategies as well
as an overview of the main detector components the initial calibration procedures and physics
samples and early LHC results. Part III completes the volume with a description of the physics
behind Monte Carlo event generators and a broad introduction to the main statistical methods
used in high energy physics. LHC Phenomenology covers all of these topics at a pedagogical
level with the aim of providing young particle physicists with the basic tools required for
future work on the various LHC experiments. It will also serve as a useful reference text for
those working in the field.
