Description
Book SynopsisThis book gives a systematic treatment of perturbative QCD, the theory of the strong interaction. Ideal for graduate students starting their work in high-energy physics, it will also interest experienced researchers. First published in 2011, this title has been reissued as an Open Access publication on Cambridge Core.
