Two Lectures on QCD at Short Distances: Jets and Factorization
arXiv:1412.5698 · doi:10.5506/APhysPolB.45.2205
Abstract
This is a brief introduction to two of the central concepts in perturbative quantum chromodynamics, jets and factorization, which serve as windows into the short-distance behavior of quantum fields.
34 pages, 21 figures. Based on lectures presented at 54th Cracow School of Theoretical Physics,"Quantum Chromodynamics meets experiment", held at Zakopane, Poland, June 2014
