Precise Tests of QCD in e+e- Annihilation
P.N. Burrows
TL;DR
This paper reviews precise experimental tests of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) in electron-positron annihilation, highlighting how these measurements confirm QCD as the theory of strong interactions and discussing future prospects at high-energy colliders.
Contribution
It provides a comprehensive pedagogical overview of key measurements that established QCD and discusses future experimental tests at high-energy e+e- colliders.
Findings
QCD has been confirmed as the correct theory of strong interactions.
Precise measurements of the coupling parameter alpha-s have been achieved.
Future tests at high-energy colliders are promising for further validation.
Abstract
A pedagogical review is given of precise tests of QCD in electron-positron annihilation. Emphasis is placed on measurements that have served to establish QCD as the correct theory of strong interactions, as well as measurements of the coupling parameter alpha-s. An outlook is given for future important tests at a high energy e+e- collider.
