Why does QCD play such a crucial role in High Energy Phenomenology? • The parton picture language provides the foundation on which all modern particle theories are formulated, and all experimental results are interpreted. • The validity of the parton picture is based empirically on an overwhelming amount of experimental evidence collected in the last 30-40 years, and theoretically on the Factorization Theorems of PQCD.
Key concepts: Ultra-violet divergences, bare Green fns, renormalization, RGE, anomalous dimensions, renormalized G.Fs, … etc.
