Günther Dissertori

Quantum Chromodynamics High Energy Experiments and Theory (Paperback)

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This text looks at Quantum Chromodynamics, the theory of the strong force between quarks, which form the building blocks of nuclear matter. With a primary focus on experiments, the authors also include an extensive theoretical introduction to the field, as well as many exercises with solutions explained in detail.
