Quantum chromodynamics. Translated from the German. With a foreword by D. A. Bromley. (Q4786202)

The main additions or modifications in this second edition (see the review of the first edition (1994) in Zbl 0803.00009) are in the last part of this book. To the old chapter four, one has added sections on ``dimensional regularization'' and on anomalies in gauge theories (symmetries in the classical case have no counterpart in the quantum situation); the axial and scale versions are considered. Sections 4.3 and 4.4 have been transformed into chapter five on lepton-hadron scattering (one performs the operator product expansion, one calculates the Wilson coefficients and perturbative methods are included) and into chapter six on hadron-hadron scattering. The old chapter five becomes chapter seven where QCD on a lattice is performed and developed. The ``QCD sum-rule technique'' is added. The old chapter six becomes chapter eight.
