Proceedings of the Workshop on Monte Carlo's, Physics and Simulations at the LHC PART II

These proceedings collect the presentations given at the first three meetings of the INFN "Workshop on Monte Carlo's, Physics and Simulations at the LHC", held at the Frascati National Laboratories in 2006. The first part of these proceedings contains pedagogical introductions to several basic topics of both theoretical and experimental high pT LHC physics. The second part collects more specialised presentations.

Solving Renormalization Group Equations by Recursion Relations

Renormalization Group Equations in integro-differential form describing the evolution of cascades or resumming logarithmic scaling violations have been known in quantum field theory for a long time. These equations have been traditionally solved by turning to Mellin moments, since in this space they become algebraic. x-space solutions are less known, but special asymptotic expansions exists which allow a fast numerical implementation of these equations. We illustrate how the equations can be solved using recursion relations in the next-to-leading order approximation.

Superstring Relics, Supersymmetric Fragmentation and UHECR

Superstring theory predicts the existence of relic metastable particles whose average lifetime is longer than the age of the universe and which could, in principle, be good dark matter candidates. At the same time, these states would be responsible for the Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR) events which will be searched for by various experimental collaborations in the near future. We describe a possible phenomenological path which could be followed in order to search for new physics in their detection.
