Quantum Chromodynamics: High Energy Experiments and Theory
Dissertori, Günther / Knowles, Ian G. / Schmelling, Michael
This book provides an introduction to Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the theory of strong interactions. It places equal weight on the theoretical foundations and experimental tests of the theory. Although the experimental chapters focus on recent measurements, the subject is placed into historical perspective by also summarizing the steps which lead to the formulation of QCD. Measurements are discussed as they were performed by the LEP experime...
