QCD Dispersion Relations - Lecture 1

Explore the fundamental concepts of QCD dispersion relations in this comprehensive lecture, the first in a series delivered by B Ananthanarayan at the School for Advanced Topics in Particle Physics (SATPP). Delve into the intricacies of Effective Field Theories (EFTs) as part of a two-week program organized by the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Gain valuable insights into low-energy EFTs and their applications in understanding quantum chromodynamics. Designed for postdoctoral fellows and advanced PhD students in theoretical particle physics, this lecture provides essential technical tools for critical analysis and constructive thinking in the field. Benefit from expert instruction in a diverse and inclusive learning environment that encourages participation from underrepresented groups in physics.
