Quantum Chromodynamics - Perturbative and Nonperturbative Aspects

Informationen zum Autor B. L. Ioffe is Head of the Laboratory of Theoretical Physics at ITEP, Moscow. He discovered the origin of baryon masses in QCD, the light-cone dominance in deep inelastic scattering. He predicted that parity violation in weak interactions should be accompanied by violation of charge symmetry or time reversal invariance, and the observation of parity violating spin-momentum correlations would mean the charge symmetry violation. He has won several prizes, including the Alexander von Humboldt Award. Klappentext Aimed at graduate students and researchers in theoretical physics, this book presents the modern theory of strong interaction: quantum chromodynamics. Zusammenfassung Aimed at graduate students and researchers in theoretical physics! this book presents the modern theory of strong interaction: quantum chromodynamics (QCD).
