Download or read book Color Confinement and Hadrons in Quantum Chromodynamics, Proceedings of the International Conference written by and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2004 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
