Abstract
Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is the theory of strong interaction force among hadrons. It is a gauge theory based on a non-Abelian gauge group namely SU(3). In the following, I will describe the perturbative aspects of QCD that is relevant for studying high energy scattering processes involving hadrons.
