{"product_id":"foundations-of-perturbative-qcd","title":"Foundations of Perturbative QCD","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Foundations of Perturbative QCD\" by John Collins is a astronomy book and space science reference focused on Cosmology. Best for students, researchers, and serious astronomy enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most non-trivial of the established microscopic theories of physics is quantum chromodynamics, 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. First published in 2011, this title has been reissued as an Open Access publication on Cambridge Core.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46422082158791,"sku":"1-99-539-000718","price":68.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/9575\/6487\/files\/9781009401821.jpg?v=1776393000","url":"https:\/\/snowflakeskies.com\/products\/foundations-of-perturbative-qcd","provider":"Snowflake Skies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
