Quantum Chromodynamics

Greiner, Walter; Bromley, D.A.; Schramm, Stefan; Stein, Eckart

The third edition of this outstanding volume has been extensively revised and enlarged to cover all new aspects in Quantum chromodynamics (QCD). It presents a modern approach to the theory. Coverage first reviews relativistic quantum field theory and details scattering theory in the framework of scalar quantum electrodynamics. The book then introduces the gauge theory of quarks and gluons. In addition, more advanced chapters present a through discussion of perturbative and nonperturbative techniques in state-of-the-art QCD. Throughout, worked-out examples provide hands-on experience for students in theoretical physics. Research scientists will also find the book an ideal reference.
