Selected, recent results, primarily from collider experiments but including some fixed target experiments, are presented as a survey of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). The concepts of leading order and next-to-leading order QCD are…
D0 provides a wealth of measurements conceived for probing perturbative and non-perturbative aspects of QCD, giving an accurate experimental account for Standard Model production processes including jets, leptons and photons and improving…
The theory of the strong force, Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) remains one of the most important ways to understand the fundamental properties of ordinary matter. However, at low momentum transfer Q2, in the regime where the strong force…

We show that both hard perturbative and soft non-perturbative QCD effects are important in hadroproduction of charmonium. Observed $x_F$ and $p_\perp$ distributions of J/psi in fixed target experiments can be well described by our Monte…

Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the gauge field theory of the Strong Interaction, has specific features, asymptotic freedom and confinement, which determine the behaviour of quarks and gluons in particle reactions at high and at low energy…
The "Underlying Event" at CMS (under nominal and start-up conditions) is studied by examining charged particle and momentum densities in the "transverse" region in charged particle jet production. The predictions of various QCD models with…
