The most non-trivial of the established microscopic theories of physics is QCD: the theory of the strong interaction. A critical link between theory and experiment is provided by the methods of perturbative QCD, notably the well-known factorization theorems. Giving an accurate account of the concepts, theorems and their justification, this book is a systematic treatment of perturbative QCD. As well as giving a mathematical treatment, the book relates the concepts to experimental data, giving strong motivations for the methods. It also examines in detail transverse-momentum-dependent parton densities, an increasingly important subject not normally treated in other books. Ideal for graduate students starting their work in high-energy physics, it will also interest experienced researchers wanting a clear account of the subject.
John Collins is Distinguished Professor of Physics at Pennsylvania State University. He has lengthy experience in perturbative QCD. He has proved a number of the fundamental theorems which form the main content of this book, and has a record of formulating and deriving novel results in QCD. During his career he has received several awards, including a Guggenheim fellowship, a Humboldt Research Award, a Mercator professorship and the J. J. Sakurai prize.
