Description

The Lund model, inspired by quantum chromodynamics, has provided a promising approach to the dynamics of quark and gluon interactions.

Starting with a brief reprise of basic concepts in relativity, quantum mechanics of fields and particle physics, this book discusses: the dynamics of the massless relativistic string; confinement; causality and relativistic covariance; Lund fragmentation processes; QED and QCD Bremsstrahlung; multiplicities and particle-parton distributions.

Throughout the book, theory is confronted with current experimental data, and implications for future experiments are also considered.

The book also explores the relationships between the Lund model and other models based on field theory (the Schwinger model, S-matrix models, light-cone algebra physics and variations of the parton model), and models based on statistical mechanics (the Feynman-Wilson gas, scaling, iterative cascade models).

This title, first published in 1998, has been reissued as an Open Access publication on Cambridge Core.
