Quantum Chromodynamics and the Pomeron

Klappentext Describes the Pomeron, an object of crucial importance in very high energy particle physics. Zusammenfassung The Pomeron is an object of crucial importance in very high energy particle physics! especially in diffraction scattering processes and small-x physics. This volume derives the Pomeron from first principles using techniques of perturbation theory! studies its properties! and shows how it should manifest itself in experiment.
