Quantum Chromodynamics and the Dynamics of Hadrons
نویسنده
چکیده
The application of perturbative quantum chromodynamics to the dynamics of hadrons at short distance is reviewed, with particular emphasis on the role of the hadronic bound state. A number of new applications are discussed, including (a) the modification to QCD scaling violations in structure functions due to hadronic binding; 6) a discussion of coherence and binding corrections to the gluon and sea-quark distributions; (c) QCD radiative corrections to dimensional counting rules Eor exclusive processes and hadronic form factors at large momentum transfer; (d) generalized counting rules for inclusive processes; (e) the special role of photon-induced reactions in QCD, especially applications to jet production in photon-photon collisions, and photon production at large transverse momentum. We also present a short review of the central problems in iarge pT hadronic reactions and the distinguishing characteristics of gluor, and quark jets.

Inclusive electroproduction of light hadrons with large pT at next-to-leading order
We review recent results on the inclusive electroproduction of light hadrons at next-toleading order in the parton model of quantum chromodynamics implemented with fragmentation functions and present updated predictions for HERA experiments based on the new AKK set.

In these lectures I will discuss three central topics in quantum chromodynamics: (1) the use of light cone quantization and Fock space methods to determ ine the long and -short-distance structure of quark and gluon distributions within hadrons; (2) th e role of spin, heavy quarks, and nuclei in unraveling fundamental phenomenological features of QCD; and (3) a new approach to understanding the ...
متن کاملQuantum chromodynamics at high energy and statistical physics
When hadrons scatter at high energies, strong color fields, whose dynamics is described by quantum chromodynamics (QCD), are generated at the interaction point. If one represents these fields in terms of partons (quarks and gluons), the average number densities of the latter saturate at ultrahigh energies. At that point, nonlinear effects become predominant in the dynamical equations. The hadro...
