Let us not go over the old ground, let us rather prepare for what
is to come. -Marcus Tullius Cicero Improvements in the health
status of communities depend on effective public health and
healthcare infrastructures. These infrastructures are increasingly
electronic and tied to the Internet. Incorporating emerging
technologies into the service of the community has become a
required task for every public health leader. The revolution in
information technology challenges every sector of the health
enterprise. Individuals, care providers, and public health agencies
can all benefit as we reshape public health through the adoption of
new infor- tion systems, use of electronic methods for disease
surveillance, and refor- tion of outmoded processes. However,
realizing the benefits will be neither easy nor inexpensive.
Technological innovation brings the promise of new ways of
improving health. Individuals have become more involved in knowing
about, and managing and improving, their own health through
Internet access. Similarly, healthcare p- viders are transforming
the ways in which they assess, treat, and document - tient care
through their use of new technologies. For example, point-of-care
and palm-type devices will soon be capable of uniquely identifying
patients, s- porting patient care, and documenting treatment simply
and efficiently.
This volume describes the Pomeron, an object of crucial importance
in very high energy particle physics. Starting with a general
description of the Pomeron within the framework of Regge theory,
the emergence of the Pomeron within scalar field theory is
discussed, providing a natural foundation on which to develop the
more realistic case of QCD. The reggeization of the gluon is
demonstrated and used to build the Pomeron of perturbative QCD. The
dynamical nature of the Pomeron and its role in small-x deep
inelastic scattering and in diffractive scattering is also examined
in detail. The volume concludes with a study of the colour dipole
approach to high energy scattering and the explicit role of
unitarity corrections. This book will be of interest to theoretical
and experimental particle physicists, and applied mathematicians.
First published in 1997, this title has been reissued as an Open
Access publication on Cambridge Core.
