We provide here complimentary material to the lectures that can used by students to verify their understanding of the basic concepts.

Monte Carlo integration

A short introduction to the techniques of Monte Carlo integration. Exercises proposed during lecture are collected in this Mathematica Notebook: mc101.nb.

LHC Phenomenology

• SM Higgs discovery at the LHC: Three important channels
• Simple Black Boxes: New gauge bosons

A collection of test, exercises, and web applications on pQCD can be found in QCD_Pavia2015.pdf.
