First sentence: In quantum chromdynamics, hadrons are identified as relativistic color-singlet bound states of confined quarks and gluons.
Description: The different aspects of particle production are here dealt with in a series of contributions written by experts in their fields, covering topics ranging from near-threshold meson production in proton-proton collisions to correlations in multi-GeV jet fragmentation in high-energy scattering processes and signals of a quark-gluon plasma formed in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions. The research presented is state of the art, but relevant physics background is also given.
