Hi,
I've spent an enormous time through coursework and self-reading on learning different things in basic particle physics theory, such as scattering cross-sections, decay rates, etc. I am looking to connect the things I have learned in theory to experiments. This may seem a little vague, but I want to know which quantities are measurable, what the motivation behind designing beams and detectors the way they are, is, based on theory. The theory books dwell too much on theory, whereas experimental treatises tend to be divorced from theory (at least the few I've encountered).
Suggestions are welcome!
I am not sure if this is the right subforum for this query, but since it is more of a pedagogical nature, I thought it would be best to put it here than the hep forum.
Thanks in advance!
