Many Body Structure of Strongly Interacting Systems (eBook, PDF)

Refereed and Selected Contributions from the Symposium "20 Years of Physics at the Mainz Microtron MAMI"

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This carefully edited proceedings volume provides an extensive review and analysis of the work carried out over the past 20 years at the Mainz Microtron (MAMI). This research centered around the application of Quantum Chromodynamics in the strictly nonperturbative regime at hadronic scales of about 1 fm. Due to the many degrees of freedom in hadrons at this scale the leitmotiv of this research is "Many body structure of strongly interacting systems". Further, an outlook on the research with the forthcoming upgrade of MAMI is given.

This volume is an authoritative source of reference for everyone interested in the field of the electro-weak probing of the structure of hadrons.
