This chapter reviews and puts into context the experiments which lead to the formulation of QCD. Starting from the static quark model, the phenomenology of deep inelastic scattering processes is introduced and used to derive and explain the quark parton model (QPM). Discussing in detail the conceptual problems of the QPM, the arguments that lead to the theory of strong interactions based on an SU(3) gauge symmetry are explained. The chapter concludes with the lagrangian of QCD.Less

This chapter presents experimental results for the QCD lagrangian. It shows that the phenomenology of strong interactions is indeed described by an unbroken Yang–Mills theory based on a non-abelian gauge symmetry. Quarks are spin-1/2 fermions, while gluons are spin-1 bosons and the strong coupling is flavour independent.Less
