This volume, based on a number of lectures and supplemented with additional material, provides a pedagogical introduction for graduate students and newcomers entering the field from related areas of nuclear and particle physics. Starting with the the Lagrangian of the strong interactions and general symmetry principles, the basic concepts of Chiral Perturbation Theory in the mesonic and baryonic sectors are developed. The application of these concepts is then illustrated with a number of examples. A large number of exercises (81, with complete solutions) are included to familiarize the reader with helpful calculational techniques.Lecture notes in physics ;830.Quantum chromodynamicsQuantum chromodynamicsProblems, exercises, etcQuantum field theoryQuantum chromodynamics.Quantum chromodynamicsQuantum field theory.530Scherer Stefan515337Schindler Matthias R.1977-515338MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910139592203321Primer for Chiral Perturbation Theory855623UNINA
