Quantum Chromodynamics - High Energy Experiments and Theory

Zusatztext Aimed at graduate students! post-doctoral physicists and professional researchers in particle physics! this book can be recommended to both experimentalists and theorists interested in QCD. Klappentext This text looks at Quantum Chromodynamics, the theory of the strong force between quarks, which form the building blocks of nuclear matter. With a primary focus on experiments, the authors also include an extensive theoretical introduction to the field, as well as many exercises with solutions explained in detail.
