QCD as a Theory of Hadrons: From Partons to Confinement (Cambridge Monographs on Particle Physics, Nuclear Physics and Cosmology, Series Number 17) 1st Edition by Stephan Narison | (PDF) Free Download

Description

Introducing the basic theory and recent advances in QCD, this book reviews the historical development of the subject up to the present day, covering aspects of strong interactions such as the quark and parton models, the notion of colors and the S-matrix approach. The author then discusses QCD and QED as gauge theories, renormalization procedures, QCD hard processes in hadron collisions, hadron jets, and the different non-perturbative aspects of QCD.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Unlike the other reviewer I could not fault the author for organization of topics. This unfortunately is reflective of the state of the Standard Model. It is at best a scheme for particle classification analogous to the periodic table but unlike the periodic table it lacks a developed theoretical justification. The author essentially demonstrates that you will not find any suitable explanation of the nuclear force via QCD in its current state. Nevertheless you are given an honest tour of the various attempts. Whether or not the author intended you may likely emerge skeptical of the theory. But you’re in good company, for instance the late Richard Feynman.

⭐This book might be more appropriately described as an encyclopedia. On the positive side, it’s fairly exhaustive in the topics it covers. However, it is divided into a ridiculously large number of sections, subsections, sub-subsections, etc.- many of which are less than a page long! The biggest problem, though, is that the organization appears to be rather haphazard unless you are already an expert in the field. There’s little discussion of how the topics fit together, or of what point the section/chapter is building to.In fact, you might describe this book as reading an impeccably organized research notebook. Nearly any topic has an entry, but any discussion of how the topics relate together is absent. So I would say this book is only worthwhile for researchers already well-versed in the material who need an encyclopedic reference to organize material they already are familiar with.
