Sammanfattning	Feynman diagrams are graphical representations of particle interactions introduced by Richard Feynman in 1949. They provide an intuitive and systematic way to visualize and calculate amplitudes for quantum field theory processes, converting complex mathematical expressions into geometric pictures that reveal the underlying physics.	The Matrix Element Method (MEM) is a powerful analysis technique that leverages quantum field theory amplitudes to extract maximum physics information from individual events. By comparing observed detector signatures to predictions from matrix elements, MEM provides unbiased, model-independent measurements with excellent theoretical precision and sensitivity to new physics.	Parton Distribution Function (PDF) fitting is the process of determining the probability distributions of quarks and gluons inside hadrons using high-energy collision data. PDFs are fundamental inputs to all hadron collider phenomenology, essential for predicting cross-sections, designing triggers, and interpreting new physics searches at the Large Hadron Collider.
