The three authors of the Black Book of of Quantum Chromodynamics are leading world experts in the field and have produced an authoritative and comprehensive text on the subject. There is a wealth of information for students of particle physics and for researchers in high energy physics which has never before been collected together in one place. * Alan D. Martin, Contemporary Physics * ...a comprehensive overview of the physics of the strong interaction. * Virginia Greco, CERN Courier * This excellent and very timely book, written by leading practitioners in the study of strong interactions at hadron colliders, is incredibly broad, covering the full range of concepts and techniques necessary to understand this rich, complex and rapidly developing subject. It captures many of the recent technological advances in perturbative QCD in a clear and concise manner, and combines it with an insightful and comprehensive study of Tevatron and Run 1 LHC data. It is pitched at exactly the right level both to imbue theorists with the necessary depth of understanding of data and to introduce experimentalists to the advantages and disadvantages of different theoretical descriptions. It is a valuable resource one could use as a basis for a graduate course in collider physics, or for more experienced practitioners to dip into. * Nigel Glover, Institute of Particle Physics Phenomenology, Durham University * The complexity of carrying out precise experimental measurements at high-energy colliders such as the LHC is matched by the complexity of the calculations needed to attain the same level of precision in the theoretical predictions. In recent decades there has been significant progress in understanding how to manipulate the underlying quantum field theory, Quantum Chromodynamics, to enable such calculations to be performed. This book, written by world experts in the field, provides a magnificently comprehensive and accessible user guide to the concepts and techniques for doing precision QCD calculations for LHC physics. * W.J. Stirling, Provost, Imperial College London * I would like to congratulate the authors for producing such a comprehensive and up-to-date book on collider physics and the applications of perturbative QCD. This is a very useful book for both theory and experimental students and postdocs. The authors do a nice job in describing the evolution of our understanding of collider physics in going from the Tevatron to the LHC. The book is an excellent resource for high energy physics researchers, both young and old, as well as for a graduate course in modern particle physics. * Rick Field, Professor of Physics at the University of Florida and author of Applications of Perturbative QCD * The broad and overlapping expertise of the authors means that this book covers all the topics relevant to strong interactions at hadron colliders, from fixed-order QCD calculations to all-orders resummation, parton shower simulations and parton distribution functions, concluding with an excellent up-to-date review of the experimental data and future prospects. * Bryan Webber, FRS, Professor of Physics at Cambridge University, author of QCD and Collider Physics *
