Elementary particle physics at the hadronic colliders , proton-proton and proton-antiproton. The study of the quark and gluon interactions, which are the proton constituents, have provided many fundamental discoveries in particle physics such as those of bosons W, Z, top-quark and Higgs. A review of results obtained at the colliders : ISR, SPS collider, Tevatron and LHC is presented together with a discussion on future perspectives.
In the final period of the course some scientific articles reporting important results obtained at LHC will be examined and an analysis of real data collected will be done.
