Summary:Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is the most up-to-date theory of the strong interaction. Its predictions have been verified experimentally, and it is a cornerstone of the Standard Model of particle physics. This book not only presents the new QCD mass gap method, but also details its applications and outlook. A detailed summary of references and problems are included as well.
