+=  '''Collider Phenomenology''' (Oxford, BUSSTEP 2017)=
+
+An introduction to the collider physics, through a quick tour on perturbative QCD (with the minimum required to understand LHC events) and examples of  phenomenology of jets, Higgs and the top quark.  
+
+Lectures are given at the blackboard with some material presented through slides. Reference slides containing a much wider selection of topics with respect to those actually presented can be found here:
+
+1. A QCD tool box  [attachment:BUSSTEP-QCD.pdf Slides]
+
+2. The SM of EW interactions [attachment:BUSSTEP-SM.pdf Slides]
+
+3. The Higgs boson [attachment:BUSSTEP-Higgs.pdf Slides]
+
+4. The Top quark [attachment:BUSSTEP-Top.pdf Slides]
+
+5. Searching New Physics through the Higgs and the top quark [attachment:BUSSTEP-NewPhysicsHiggsTop.pdf Slides]
+
+
+=== Supporting material ===
+
+The course includes tests, simple exercises, fully worked out numerical calculations/simulations, and a complete and easy-to-use series of mathematica notebooks which allow the computation at next-to-leading order accuracy of the total production cross section of a Higgs boson in gluon-gluon fusion at the 
+LHC
