Anyone trying to apply the solid knowledge of quantum field theory to actual LHC physics – in particular to the Higgs sector and certain regimes of QCD – inevitably meets an intricate maze of phenomenological know-how, common lore and intuition, often historically grown, about what works and what does not. These lectures are intended to be a brief but sufficiently detailed primer on LHC physics that will enable graduate students and any newcomer to the field to find their way through the more advanced literature, as well as helping them to start work in this timely and exciting field of research.
