Advanced Series on Directions in High Energy Physics - Vol. 5
PERTURBATIVE QCD
edited by A H Mueller (Columbia)
This book will be of great interest to advanced students and researchers in the area of high energy theoretical physics. Being the most complete and updated review volume on Perturbative QCD, it serves as an extremely useful textbook or reference book. Some of the reviews in this volume are the best that have been written on the subject anywhere.
Contents:
- Factorization of Hard Processes in QCD (J C Collins, D E
Soper & G Sterman)
- Exclusive Processes in Quantum Chromodynamics (S J Brodsky & G P Lepage)
- Coherence and Physics of QCD Jets (Yu L Dokshitzer, V A Khoze & S I Troyan)
- Pomeron in Quantum Chromodynamics (L N Lipatov)
- Infrared Singularities and Coherent States in Gauge Theories (M Ciafaloni)
- Sudakov Form Factors (J C Collins)
Readership: Advanced students and researchers in high energy physics.
"The articles in this volume aim at describing the formalism which has been developed in order to relate perturbative QCD to measurable quantities. The emphasis is placed on understanding perturbative QCD and how it relates to physical quantities rather than on detailed fits to data. It is hoped that these contributions will make the rather elaborate formalism of perturbative QCD more accessible to our theoretical colleagues in neighboring disciplines, to graduate students and to the adventurous experimenter who wants to understand exactly where QCD predictions come from and what they really mean."
