One of the triumphs of modern particle physics has been the extent
to which Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) has successfully accounted
for the strong interaction processes observed at high-energy
particle colliders, for example the production of heavy quarks and
jets of particles, and the short-distance parton structure of the
proton. This book gives a detailed overview of collider physics
with special emphasis on the study of QCD. After a general
description of the QCD Lagrangian, and the properties of asymptotic
freedom and colour confinement which derive from it, the most
important applications at high-energy colliders are described in
detail. These include the production of jets, heavy quarks,
electroweak gauge bosons and Higgs bosons. The various methods of
measuring the strong coupling constant are summarised. Many of the
theoretical results are calculated from first principles, and the
book will be both a textbook and a valuable source of reference
material for all particle physicists.
