TESTING QCD AT HIGH ENERGY e+e- COLLIDERS: 0.5< Q <2 TeV*

A review is presented of the possibilities for making precise tests of Quantum Chromodynamics at high energy e+e colliders operating at centr~of-m~s energies in the range 0.5 ~ Q < 2 TeV.

Quantum Mechanics_quantum chromodynamics (QCD)

In theoretical physics, quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is a theory ofstrong interactions, a fundamental forcedescribing the interactions between quarksand gluons which make up hadrons such as the proton, neutron and pion. QCD is a type of Quantum field theory called a nonabelian gauge theory with symmetry group SU(3). The QCD analog of electric charge is a property called 'color'. Gluons are the ...

Multiparticle Production and Quantum Chromodynamics

The theory of strong interactions, quantum chromodynamics (QCD), is quite successful in the prediction and description of main features of multiparticle production processes at high energies. The general perturbative QCD approach to these processes (mainly to e + e −-annihilation) is briefly formulated and its problems are discussed. It is shown that the analytical calculations at the parton le...

PROBING QCD IN LOW ENERGY jTp COLLISIONS*

A primary focus of study in particle and nuclear physics is the testing of quantum chromodynamics. 1 Although it is generally believed that QCD is the fundamental theory of the stong interactions, quantitative tests have so far been restricted to the high momentum transfer domain where perturbative methods based on asymptotic freedom can be used. Tests of the confining non-perturbative aspects ...
