Nonperturbative Phenomena and Phases of QCD
Abstract
Description
Lectures discuss applications of semiclassical methods based on instantons to vacuum structure (chiral symmetry breaking), hadronic structure (various correlation functions), and high energy collisions of hadrons and heavy ions. We discuss phase diagram of hot/dense hadronic matter, and in the last lecture review current puzzles/lesons from the first RHIC run in summer of 2000.
