Discusses in detail the techniques developed for the perturbative regime of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) a non-Abelian gauge field theory which successfully describes the strong interactions of fundamental particles. Written to be as self-contained as possible, it starts at a first-year graduate student's level and contains a large amount of background material for QCD, which may also serve as an introduction to gauge field theories. The rest of the book covers the renormalization group method, the operator-product expansion and other technical developments. QCD predictions based on these techniques are derived for short-distance reactions, and the final chapter discusses infrared divergence because of its relevance to the validity argument of the perturbative treatment.
