Open questions on the fundamental nature of the strong force endure and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a once-in-a-generation laboratory elucidating its quantum origins. This document summarizes the plenary overview talk titled "QCD…
Quantum chromodynamics is the quantum gauge field theory that describes the strong interactions. This article reviews the basic structure, successes and challenges of quantum chromodynamics as it manifests itself at short and long…
The concept of color transparency is introduced. This new feature of QCD is characteristic of a gauge theory. It enables strong interactions to be studied in a new domain: scattering amplitudes of transversally small color singlet objects.…
There is little doubt that Quantumchromodynamics (QCD) is the theory which describes strong interaction physics. Lattice gauge simulations of QCD predict that in the $\mu,T$ plane there is a line where a transition from confined hadronic…
Since QCD is believed to be the underlying theory of the strong interaction, it is appropriate to study techniques that take into account more features of its rich and complex structure. We begin by discussing aspects of physics that are…
The theory of strong interactions, quantum chromodynamics (QCD), is quite successful in the prediction and description of main features of multiparticle production processes at high energies. The general perturbative QCD approach to these…

The theory of the strong interactions, Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), has been addressed by a variety of non-perturbative techniques over the decades since its introduction. We have investigated Hamiltonian formulations with different…
The first LHC results at 7-8 TeV, with the discovery of a candidate Higgs boson and the non observation of new particles or exotic phenomena, have made a big step towards completing the experimental confirmation of the Standard Model (SM)…
We give an introduction to perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics, focusing on a pedagogical description of concepts and methods to calculate cross sections measured at high energy colliders. After introducing basic concepts that allow for a…
Strongly interacting matter exhibits new phases under extreme conditions. Matter was exposed to such extremes not only in the Early Universe, but also today in the cores of neutron stars, as well as in laboratory experiments at a much…

Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the generally accepted theory for the strong interactions, describes the interactions between quarks and gluons. The strongly interacting particles that are seen in nature are hadrons, which are composites of…
The theory of Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD) reproduces the strong interaction at distances much shorter than the size of the nucleon. At larger distance scales, the generation of hadron masses and confinement cannot yet be derived from…
