Recent talks

• I lectured at the CTEQ school on QCD analysis and phenomenology, on

The Physics and Techniques of Monte Carlo event generators:
• Lecture 1: Basic principles; simple examples.
• Lecture 2: QCD generators; parton showers.
• Lecture 3: Hadronization.
This is also the course I gave last year in Oxford and the year before at the TeVatron University (or University of D0 as it was called then).
• I lectured at the British Summer School for Young Experimenters at Cosener's House, on

Phenomenology:
• Lecture 1: Electroweak measurements.
• Lecture 2: sigma(e+e- to hadrons).
• Lecture 3: Hadronic final states.
• Lecture 4: DIS and hadron collisions.
• Lecture 5: Precision electroweak physics.
• Lecture 6: Higgs physics.
• Lecture 7: Supersymmetry.
• Lecture 8: CP Violation and Flavour Physics.
There is also now a set of accompanying notes.
• In July 2003 I gave CERN's academic training lectures on Monte Carlo event generators for LHC physics.
• I recently (August 2000) had a job interview at the University of Manchester and gave this talk.  It must have been OK, as I got the job and will be moving there next year.
• I am currently (Jan/Feb 2000) giving a course on  Introduction to QCD in Oxford.  I am using the blackboard and these notes are mainly written for my benefit, so they are a bit rough-and-ready, but I hope they are useful (and that all formulae are present and correct).  I am writing them as I go along, so you will need to check from time to time whether they are up to date.  I have also started giving solutions to some of the problems.
• I gave a talk at the Annual UK Theory Winter Meeting on Recent Progress in Perturbative QCD.
• Together with Bryan Webber, I made a proposal to the Particle Physics Experimental Selection Panel of PPARC for funding to write a replacement for HERWIG, imaginatively called HERWIG++. At the last minute I also threw in this fun graph of the size of HERWIG as a function of time.
• I gave a talk to PPARC's Science Committee on behalf of the UK phenomenology community.
• A review of precision electroweak measurements at LEP, SLC and Tevatron at the IOP half-day meeting on high Q^2 physics at HERA.

For some reason, page 7 is a bit dodgy, so if you have trouble printing it, you can get the text and figure separately.
John Holt also kindly supplied a couple of the slides.
