by T Muta (Hiroshima University)
Preface to the Second Edition (53k) Table of Contents (165k) Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 1.1: General Survey (707k) Chapter 1.2: Quarks and Color (680k) Chapter 1.3: Need for Asymptotic Freedom (454k) Chapter 1.4: Notation and Conventions (150k)
This volume develops the techniques of perturbative QCD in great pedagogical detail starting with field theory. Aside from extensive treatments of the renormalization group technique, the operator product expansion formalism and their applications to short-distance reactions, this book provides a comprehensive introduction to gauge theories. Examples and exercises are provided to amplify the discussions on important topics. This is an ideal textbook on the subject of quantum chromodynamics and is essential for researchers and graduate students in high energy physics, nuclear physics and mathematical physics.
