In these lectures we will discuss the description of hadrons and hadronic scattering and decay
processes in the context of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the fundamental theory for the
strong interaction between quarks and gluons.
Content:
• Mesons and Baryons in the Quark Model:
Isospin, Hypercharge, Strangeness and all that,
Hadronic Bound States with Heavy Quarks
• Hadronic decays and scattering processes:
QCD Lagrangian and Feynman Rules
Decay Constants and Form Factors,
Structure Functions and the Parton Model
• Effective Field Theories:
Chiral Perturbation Theory,
Heavy-Quark Effective Theory
• Operator Product Expansion and the QCD Vacuum,
Exclusive Hard-Scattering Processes,
QCD Sum Rules
