Description

This book makes a global survey of nonperturbative aspects of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) from the viewpoints of mathematical, elementary-particle and hadron physics, including recent lattice-QCD results. It presents current, important progress in the following areas: the quark confinement mechanism, dynamical chiral-symmetry breaking, topologies in QCD (instantons, monopoles, vortices), SUSY QCD, nonperturbative methods (1/Nc, ladder QCD, AdS/CFT), QCD phase transition at finite temperature and density, quark-gluon plasma, and so on. For recent topics, the book also includes the experimental discovery of the penta-quark particle, the newest information on the QGP creation experiments, and theoretical progress on the baryonic three-quark potential and the high-density QCD.The proceedings have been selected for coverage in:� Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings� (ISTP� / ISI Proceedings)� Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings (ISTP CDROM version / ISI Proceedings)� CC Proceedings � Engineering & Physical SciencesTypham this is the title: COLOR CONFINEMENT & HADRONS IN QUANTUM..
