I present the state of our understanding of the QCD dynamics at play in the parton saturation regime of nuclear wave functions. I explain what are the biggest open questions in the field, their intrinsic interest, but also why is it…
A qualitative (and selective) discussion of current activities and problems in the field is given.
The guiding lines of lattice investigations on colour confinement are reviewed, together with recent results.
The current status of Quark-Gluon-Plasma Theory is reviewed. Special emphasis is placed on QGP signatures, the interpretation of current data and what to expect from RHIC in the near future.
In these lecture notes I describe the theory of QCD and its application, through perturbation theory, at particle colliders.
We briefly review the theoretical status and the open theoretical challenges in the physics of heavy quarkonium.
This review describes the current status of precision QCD studies at the LHC. We introduce the main experimental and theoretical methods, discussing also their cross-stimulated developments and recent advances. The different types of QCD…
Brief review of current status of the field.
Recent developments in the study of hard QCD processes at colliders are reviewed, in the context of the imminent startup of the LHC.
We review recent speculations on power like corrections in QCD which go beyond the standard Operator Product Expansion. Both the theoretical picture underlying these corrections and phenomenological manifestations are discussed in some…
I quickly review the successes of quantum chromodynamics. Then I assess the current state of the electroweak theory, making brief comments about the search for the Higgs boson and some of the open issues for the theory. I sketch the…
We describe several problems related to the studies of the effects of radiative QCD corrections in the phenomenological and theoretical considerations thus summarizing the work of the QCD part of the Symposium on "Radiative Corrections:…
We discuss QCD studies that will be possible at LEP2. We examine both experimental and theoretical aspects of jets, fragmentation functions, multiplicities and particle spectra.
A review is made of the odderon idea in high-energy physics, complemented by an outline of the recent calculations of the odderon properties in the perturbative QCD.
Current status of Top/QCD studies at linear colliders (LC) is briefly viewed, classifying topics into two categories: those within the standard model and those beyond the standard model.
Modern-day `testing' of (perturbative) QCD is as much about pushing the boundaries of its applicability as about the verification that QCD is the correct theory of hadronic physics. This talk gives a brief discussion of a small selection of…
The phase structure of QCD remains an open fundamental problem of standard model physics. In particular at finite density, our knowledge is limited. Yet, numerous model studies point towards a rich and complex phase diagram at large…
We report about recent progress in the treatment of bound states in QCD.
The asymptotical behaviour of the QCD coupling strength is considered. Its upper bound is found from the present experimental data. The assumption about the finite asymptotical value of the coupling strength leads to the energy scale where…
A mini-review of the heavy mass expansion in QCD is given. We focus on exclusive semileptonic decays and some topics of recent interest in inclusive decays of heavy hadrons.
