Summary
In this part, we study different hard and jet processes in e+e–. These concern:
one hadron inclusive production.
γγ scatterings and the ‘spin’ of the photon.
QCD jets.
heavy quarkonia inclusive decays.
e+e– → hadrons total cross-section.
Z → hadrons inclusive decay
τ → ν + hadrons semi-inclusive decays.
These processes are used as classical tests of perturbative QCD, where values of the running QCD coupling have been extracted. A pedagogical introduction to the physics of e+e– can be found in, for example, the book of [276]. More modern QCD phenomenology in e+e– can be found in different reviews and in the proceedings of the QCD-Montpellier series of conferences and many others.
