Mass Gap and its Applications, Hardcover by Vakhtang, Gogokhia; Barnafoldi, Gergely Gabor, ISBN 9814440701, ISBN-13 9789814440707, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US While strong supporting evidence for the particle physics theory of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) has been found in high energy collisions in experimental tests using perturbativetreatments because of its asymptotic freedom behavior, the perturbative procedures have proven problematic for low-energy QCD, since the running coupling constant goes beyond 1. The authors (both of the Institute for Particle & Nuclear Physics, Hungarian Academy of Sciences) aim to solve this problem by introducing a new method for investigating non-perturbative QCD which includes the "mass gap" (the energy difference between the lowest order and the vacuum state in the Yang-Mills quantum field theory) into the theory, as suggested by Arthur Jaffe and Edward Witten. To explain the mass-spectrum of QCD, they aim to show that one needs the mass scale parameter (., the mass gap, which "is in principle responsible for the large-scale structure of the QCD ground state, and thus for its non-perturbative phenomena at low energies") rather than other massive particles. A basic knowledge of Quantum Chromodynamics is assumed. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
