Quantum Field Theory

Abstract

An important part of elementary particle theory concerns the strong interactions. Hence, we need to consider the classification, structure, and modelling of hadrons, and in this chapter, we shall turn to a more phenomenological discussion about such issues, including the group-theoretical classification of hadrons, the quark model, the parton model, and so on.
