Course Description
This course covers the basics of computational aspects involved in the simulation of High-Energy Physics collider experiments.
The first part focuses on the standard pipeline, starting from the Lagrangian of the underlying theory (e.g. the Standard Model) and progressing through event generation to detector simulation and comparison with experimental data.
The second part addresses methods to account for higher-order corrections, and the theoretical challenges associated with them.
Each two-hour lecture is accompanied by a one-hour hands-on practice using a pedagogical code, enabling participants to become familiar with the introduced methods through practical application.
