Related papers: Current Issues in Perturbative QCD
In this talk, we briefly review the current understanding of the behavior of the QCD equation of state throughout the phase diagram. Special emphasis is given to regions of phenomenological interest, and a number of important open questions…
In the framework of the QCD effective field theory called potential Non-Relativistic QCD, we explore quark-antiquark bound systems that may be dominated by the perturbative interaction and we discuss the extent of validity of such a…
Perturbative QCD has made significant progress over the last few decades. In the first part, we present an introductory overview of perturbative QCD as seen from a modern viewpoint. We explain the relation between purely perturbative…
Opening Lecture at the Second Rencontres du Vietnam, October 21-28, 1995.
This series of lectures consists of two parts. In the first part the foundations of perturbative and non perturbative formulation are discussed. The ambiguity in the definition of vacuum condensates is then analyzed. In the second part the…
I survey some recent advances in the applications of the analytical perturbative approach to the description of particle distributions in multi-jet processes. New tests of the perturbatively based picture in the (semi) soft region are…
Lectures given at the Summer School on "Modern perspectives in lattice QCD", Les Houches, August 3-28, 2009
The paper is withdrawn by the author. This was an embryon of the book which has now been published with World Scientific under the title "Lectures on Quantum Chromodynamics". See http://www.wspc.com.sg/books/physics/4443.html, where the…
I discuss recent developments in the QCD cascade formalism. I focus on the importance of and uncertainties in higher order corrections to the Modified Leading Log approximation for final-state radiation. I also talk about the CCFM and LDC…
Lecture notes delivered in Barcellona in the fall of 2003
These notes contain the written version of lectures given at the 2009 Les Houches Summer School "Modern perspectives in lattice QCD: Quantum field theory and high performance computing." The goal is to provide a pedagogical introduction to…
Using the theory talks at ISMD2010 as a guidance, I present a personal review of our current understanding of multiparticle interactions in QCD. For more clarity, I separately consider hard, semi-hard, and soft interactions, and I devote…
These are the proceedings of the workshop on ``Lattice QCD, Chiral Perturbation Theory and Hadron Phenomenology'' held at the European Centre for Theoretical Studies in Nuclear Physics and Related Areas from October 2 to 6, 2006. The…
We review selected recent theoretical activity in perturbative QCD. We focus on progress in the description of parton densities, including latest developments in neural network parton densities, on the description of high multiplicity final…
A summary of the session on Particle Astrophysics at the Rencontre de Vietnam, 2006.
These proceedings discuss some of the highlights of recent research in perturbative QCD as it relates to the LHC. Topics covered include the new generation of Monte Carlo event generators, the revolution that is occurring in NLO…
Recently methods have been developed which exploit the chiral symmetry of QCD in order to make rigorous contact with low energy particle physics phenomenology. In these lectures we present a pedagogical introduction to these techniques.
This is a written version of two lectures given at the First School on Field Theory and Gravitation in Vitoria (Brasil) April 15-19, 1997. We discuss the foundation of QCD as the theory of strong interactions and the perturbative analysis…
These are lecture notes, which summarize the current status of the Semiclassical theory, as well as Monopoles, Instantons, Instanton-dyons and Flux tubes. The emphasis is on QCD and QCD-like theories (deformed QCD), although relevant points…
In this opening talk I will address some issues that exemplify the theoretical progress that has been made and is to be expected in the field of meson-nucleon physics. My emphasis will be on performing precision calculations to test aspects…
