Book cover: QCD in Heavy Ion CollisionsQCD in Heavy Ion Collisions
by - arXiv.org ,
This is an introduction to selected topics in the physics of ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions which shed light on the fundamental theory of strong interactions, the Quantum Chromodynamics. The emphasis is on the partonic forms of QCD matter.

Book cover: Hadronic Atoms in QCD + QEDHadronic Atoms in QCD + QED
by - 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.

Book cover: Quantum Chromodynamics and Hadrons: an Elementary IntroductionQuantum Chromodynamics and Hadrons: an Elementary Introduction
by - arXiv.org ,
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. The main emphasis will be put on the relation between QCD and hadrons.

Book cover: Quantum Chromodynamics and Statistical PhysicsQuantum Chromodynamics and Statistical Physics
by - arXiv ,
In these lectures, we first introduce the basic concepts in the context of simple toy models, we study the properties of the latter, and show how the results obtained for the simple models may be taken over to quantum chromodynamics.

Book cover: The Condensed Matter Physics of QCDThe Condensed Matter Physics of QCD
by - arXiv ,
Important progress in understanding the behavior of hadronic matter at high density has been achieved recently. We discuss the phase diagram of QCD as a function of temperature and density, and close with a look at possible astrophysical signatures.
