Hadronic Wavefunctions and High Momentum Transfer Interactions in Quantum Chromodynamics

  • Chapter
Particles and Fields 2

Abstract

Quantum Chromodynamics is a renormalizable non-Abelian gauge field theory of quarks and gluons, based on the principle of exact local SU(3)-color symmetry.1 From the experimental standpoint, there is now impressive evidence2 that QCD is a viable theory of hadronic phenomena. The most important phenomenological evidence for QCD comes from inelastic lepton scattering, e+e− annihilation processes, and those high momentum transfer exclusive and inclusive reactions where the structure of perturbative quark and gluon sub-processes can be studied in relative isolation from the bound state dyniamics of the hadrons. From the theoretical standpoint, the elegant structure of QCD makes it appear almost compelling as a fundamental theory of hadronic phenomena, even though many crucial questions concerning quark and gluon confinement, and the effects of non-perturbative phenomena remain unanswered.3
