Quantum Chromodynamics (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The third edition of this outstanding volume has been extensively revised and enlarged to cover all new aspects in Quantum chromodynamics (QCD). It presents a modern approach to the theory. Coverage first reviews relativistic quantum field theory and details scattering theory in the framework of scalar quantum electrodynamics. The book then introduces the gauge theory of quarks and gluons. In addition, more advanced chapters present a through discussion of perturbative and nonperturbative techniques in state-of-the-art QCD. Throughout, worked-out examples provide hands-on experience for students in theoretical physics. Research scientists will also find the book an ideal reference.

Rezensionen

From the reviews of the second edition:

"This is the second edition of the very successful book on quantum chromodynamics (QCD), which is part of an extensive series of textbooks by Greiner and co-authors. ... The second edition is clearly an advance on the first and continues to be a very useful advanced textbook." (C.A Hurst, Mathematical Reviews, 2003 k)

"This book is a thorough introduction to the perturbative and nonperturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) for advanced level graduate students in theoretical physics and scientists in high energy physics. It contains many worked-out exercises ... . In conclusion, this book constitutes an excellent theoretical reference book, reflecting very well the present situation and problems in the field ... ." (Laurent Favart, Physicalia, Vol. 25 (4), 2003)

From the reviews of the third edition:

"The book is well structured and delivers a self-contained introduction to quantum chromodynamics (QCD), while supplying the reader with ample information and references on how to enlarge his or her knowledge on specific topics. ... Overall, the book exhibits all the hallmarks that make this series of textbooks so valuable to students and scientists ... . The step-by-step exercises supply the reader with a most helpful tool to understand how to approach and devise a solution of a given problem in QCD." (Serban Misicu, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1147, 2008)
