Color Algebra in Quantum Chromodynamics

Color Transparency and the Structure of the Proton in Quantum Chromodynamics* Stanley

Hadronic and Nuclear Phenomena in .- Quantum Chromodynamics*

Many of the key issues in understanding quantum chromodynamics involves processes at intermediate energies. We discuss a range of hadronic and nuclear . . _-. phenomena-exclusive processes, color transparency, hidden color degrees of freedom in nuclei, reduced nuclear amplitudes, jet coalescence, formation zone effects, hadron helicity selection rules, spin correlations, higher twist effects, a...

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 ...

Inhomogeneous color superconductivity and the cooling of compact stars

In this talk I discuss the inhomogeneous (LOFF) color superconductive phases of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). In particular, I show the effect of a core of LOFF phase on the cooling of a compact star.

The Synthesis of Quantum Chromodynamics and Nuclear Physics

The asymptotic freedom behavior of quantum chromodynamics allows the rigorous calculation of hadronic and nuclear amplitudes at short distances using perturbative methods. The implications of QCD for large momentum transfer nuclear form factors and scattering processes, as well as for the structure of nuclear wavefunctions and nuclear interactions at short distances are discussed. The necessity...
