Quantum Chromodynamics and Hadrons: an Elementary Introduction
by Alexander Khodjamirian
Publisher: arXiv.org 2003
Number of pages: 52
Description:
In these lectures I will discuss the quark-gluon 'corner' ofthe Standard Model, introducing the basics of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the theory of quark-gluon interactions. Throughout this survey, the main emphasis will be put on the relation between QCD and hadrons, the observed bound states of quarks.

Hadronic Atoms in QCD + QEDby J. Gasser, V.E. Lyubovitskij, A. Rusetsky - arXiv.org
We review the theory of hadronic atoms in QCD + QED based on a non-relativistic effective Lagrangian framework. We provide an introduction to the theory and describe several applications: meson-meson, meson-nucleon atoms and meson-deuteron compounds.
