QCD at HERA The Hadronic Final State in Deep Inelastic Scattering [Paperback]

The book provides a review of the hadronic final state measurements at HERA in deep inelastic scattering. It covers general event properties, particle spectra, heavy flavours, jets, event shape measurements, QCD instantons and small-x physics. The emphasis is on experimental results, providing quick access to the data (complete up to fall 1997) for reference. The results are discussed in the context of QCD.Theoretical framework.- Inclusive cross-sections.- Models for hadron production in DIS.- General event properties.- The quark fragmentation region.- Jets.- Low-x physics.- Instantons.- Summary.The book provides a review of the hadronic final state measurements at HERA in deep inelastic scattering.
