The book focuses on orphan figures in a broad, multi-ethnic range of contemporary fiction by Barbara Kingsolver, Linda Hogan, Leslie Marmon Silko, Marilynne Robinson, Michael Cunningham, Jonathan

neutrons, and all hadrons. Specifically, it focuses on the color of quarks and gluons, responsible for their mutual interactions via the strong force. The book provides an elementary introduction to the birdtrack technique, which is a powerful tool for addressing the color structure of QCD in a pictorial way. The technique shows how quark and gluon colors are combined and mixed in QCD. The author discusses color conservation, shows how to project on color states of systems of quarks, antiquarks, and gluons, how to derive their color charges. The book is enriched with many exercises integrated in the text to learn by doing. This book is primarily intended for particle physics students, graduates, and researchers working in the field of QCD. However, it requires no specific prerequisites in QCD, so it may also be of interest to students of mathematics, as an illustration of the use of the birdtrack pictorial technique in representation theory. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Physics,$x2191-5431 606 $aParticles (Nuclear physics) 606 $aParticles (Nuclear physics) 606 $aQuantum field theory 606 $aMathematical physics 606 $aParticle Physics 606 $aElementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory 606 $aTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics 615 0$aParticles (Nuclear physics) 615 0$aParticles (Nuclear physics) 615 0$aQuantum field theory. 615 0$aMathematical physics. 615 14$aParticle Physics. 615 24$aElementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory. 615 24$aTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics. 676 $a535.6 700 $aPeigne?$b Ste?phane$01738859 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910857786503321 996 $aColor in QCD$94161881 997 $aUNINA
