This 2004 book provides a pedagogical introduction to the perturbative and non-perturbative aspects of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). The text introduces the basic theory of QCD and its historical development, covering pre-QCD ideas of strong interactions such as the quark and parton models, the notion of colours and the S-matrix approach. The author then discusses gauge theory, techniques of dimensional regularization and renormalization, deep inelastic scattering and hard processes in hadron collisions, hadron jets and e+e- annihilations. Other topics include power corrections and the technologies of the Shifman-Vainshtein-Zakharov operating product expansion. The final parts of the book are devoted to modern non-perturbative approaches to QCD and the phenomenological aspects of QCD spectral sum rules. The book will be a valuable reference for graduate students and researchers in high-energy particle and nuclear physics, both theoretical and experimental. This book has been reissued as an Open Access publication on Cambridge Core.

This book aims to present the history and developments of particle physics from the introduction of the notion of particles by the Ionian school until the discovery of the Higgs boson at LHC in 2012. Neutrino experiments and particle accelerators where different particles have been discovered are reviewed. In particular, details about the CERN accelerators are presented. This book also discusses the future developments of the field and the work to popularize high energy physics. A short presentation of some features of astrophysics and its connection to particle physics is also included. At the end of the book, some useful tools in the research of particle physics are given for the advanced readers.

The author starts by counting his unsual path to High-Energy Physics (HEP) and gives a brief introduction to the field. Then, he collects his different original research works from the low-energy precision test of the Standard Model (SM) via the anomalous magnetic moment of leptons to the search for new physics at some high energy accelerators.The remaining parts of the book focus on the non-perturbative aspects of Quantum ChromoDynamics (QCD) within the ShifmanVainshtein-Zakharov (SVZ) approach. Provided that the method is used carefully, one can predict succesfully all hadron masses and couplings, the size of the quark masses and of the QCD condensates and coupling.The collection of research works is closed by some author's analysis of the COVID19 in Madagascar. The rest of the book mentions the author's social activities: Organization of the QCDMontpellier (FR) and HEPMAD-Antananarivo (MG) Conference Series, Popularization and Development of HEP and some author's Political and Social Engagements in Madagascar.

HEPMAD24 marks the 14th edition of the HEPMAD (High Energy Physics in Madagascar) conference series, which has been held in Madagascar since its inception in 2001. This long-standing event serves as a vital platform for the promotion and development of High Energy Physics (HEP) not only in Madagascar but also more broadly across Sub-Saharan Africa.The primary aim of the HEPMAD series is to foster scientific exchange and collaboration in the field of HEP, covering both theoretical and experimental aspects. By bringing together local and international experts, the conference contributes to strengthening research capacity and expanding the scientific community in the region.HEPMAD24 continues this mission by encouraging the participation of a diverse range of researchers. In addition to high-energy physicists, the conference provides an important venue for multidisciplinary national physicists — from various branches of physics and related fields — who take this opportunity to present their research to an international audience.Through lectures, presentations, and discussions, HEPMAD24 contributes to the advancement of physics research and education and supports the integration of emerging scientific communities in Sub-Saharan Africa into the global research network.
