Abstract

This chapter is devoted to making the reader familiar with the ideas underlying the QCD and its formalism. We briefly discuss the advent of the color quantum number, which is a unique feature and centerpiece of strong interactions. In what follows, QCD is presented formally as a quantum field theory, where we discuss its energy scale-dependent characteristics and how it is related to the formation of hadrons. Finally, by following the early experimental developments, we give a historical account of the evidence for the hadron structure and sketch the simple formalism that is commonly used to study it in a theoretical approach.
