Basics of QCD Perturbation Theory

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

This is an introduction to the use of QCD perturbation theory, emphasizing generic features of the theory that enable one to separate short-time and long-time effects. I also cover some important classes of applications: electron-positron annihilation to hadrons, deeply inelastic scattering, and hard processes in hadron-hadron collisions.
