Quantum Chromodynamics and the Pomeron

This volume describes the Pomeron, an object of crucial importance in very high energy particle physics, within the frameworks of Regge theory and perturbative QCD. First published in 1997, this title has been reissued as an Open Access publication on Cambridge Core.
