1A: Introduction to Physics Simulation |
Prof.
Thomas Lindblad gave an overview of physics and simulation
on overhead transparencies at the first class meeting. We have scanned
and presented them here with some additional comments included.

High energy physics today involves huge
facilities to carry out the study of the fundamental particles and forces
of matter. This diagram shows the Large
Hadron Collider now under construction at CERN
near Geneva, Switzerland. Simulations of the particle interactions, of
all the detectors in the elaborate experiments, and of the accelerator
are all required to run the systems properly and to understand the data.
