A fundamental goal in QCD is to understand the non-perturbative structure of hadrons at the amplitude level--not just the single-particle flavor, momentum, and helicity distributions of the quark constituents, but also the multi-quark,…
This is an introduction to the study of strongly interacting matter. We survey its different possible states and discuss the transition from hadronic matter to a plasma of deconfined quarks and gluons. Following this, we summarize the…
We discuss the new era of precision QCD as it relates to the physics requirements of the LHC for both the signal and background type processes. Some attention is paid to the issue of the theoretical error associated with any given…
In the past few years a wealth of high quality data has made possible to test current theoretical ideas about the properties of hadrons subject to extreme conditions of density and temperature. The relativistic heavy-ion program carried out…
Phenomenological results of equal time, point to point spatial correlation functions of hadronic currents are used to deduce the structure of the QCD vacuum. It is found that a model with only quark condensate is not adequate to explain the…
