The book is an up-to-date, self-contained account of deep inelastic
scattering in high-energy physics. Intended for graduate students
and physicists new to the subject, it covers the classic results
which led to the quark-parton model of hadrons and the
establishment of quantum chromodynamics as the theory of the strong
nuclear force, in addition to new vistas in the subject opened up
by the electron-proton collider HERA. The extraction of parton
momentum distribution functions, a key input for physics at hadron
colliders such as the Tevatron at Fermi Lab and the Large Hadron
Collider at CERN, is described in detail. The challenges of the
HERA data at 'low x' are described and possible explanations in
terms of gluon dynamics and other models outlined. Other chapters
cover: jet production at large momentum transfer and the
determination of the strong coupling constant, electroweak
interactions at very high momentum transfers, the extension of deep
inelastic techniques to include hadronic probes, a summary of fully
polarised inelastic scattering and the spin structure of the
nucleon, and finally a brief account of methods in searching for
signals 'beyond the standard model'.
