Abstract

Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is a theory to describe the strong interaction in hadrons. It was developed in the history of understanding the structure of the hadrons. In the 1950s, a large number of hadrons were discovered in experiments.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Here, “local” means that the Lagrangian is a function of fields with the same space-time point. Nonlocal fields and interactions have been discussed in Refs. [12,13,14].

  2. 2.

    All the fields here are renormalized but the subscript ’r’ is omitted for simplicity.
