Course description
This lecture provides an introduction to Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the theory of the strong interaction between quarks and gluons. This non-abelian gauge theory gives rise to a wide range of different phenomena such as asymptotic freedom, confinement and chiral symmetry breaking. The course provides an introduction to QCD and the array of theoretical methods used to analyze this theory.
The lecture is suitable for master students with familiarity of basic quantum field theory. Part III of the lecture will start in week 8 of the semester, on November 4, and can serve as a graduate course. We should be able to hold the lecture in person, but please register on the course
ILIAS page.
