Abstract
When the energies involved in hadronic processes are of the order of the hadron masses, quantum chromodynamics — the theory which is supposed to describe them — enters into a strong coupling regime where a perturbative expansion becomes inadequate. This can be seen from the behaviour of the running coupling constant (Fig. 1) which exceeds one below some energy scale E0 of the order of one GeV.
