Abstract: The most non-trivial of the established microscopic theories of physics is QCD: the theory of the strong interaction. A critical link between theory and experiment is provided by the methods of perturbative QCD, notably the well-known factorization theorems. Giving an accurate account of the concepts, theorems and their justification, this book is a systematic treatment of perturbative QCD. As well as giving a mathematical treatment, the book relates the concepts to experimental data, giving strong motivations for the methods. It also examines in detail transverse-momentum-dependent parton densities, an increasingly important subject not normally treated in other books. Ideal for graduate students starting their work in high-energy physics, it will also interest experienced researchers wanting a clear account of the subject.

TL;DR: In this article, the large soft gluon corrections to short distance hadronic cross sections are summed to all orders in perturbation theory, and the exponentiation of leading and non-leading ln(n) terms in moments of these cross sections is verified.

TL;DR: In this paper, a general method to exponentiate leading and next-to-leading logarithms to all orders in perturbation theory is developed and a complete formula for the large N -moments is given and shown to agree with previous two-loop calculations.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new clustering algorithm was proposed to predict the jet cross sections at small y cut for arbitrary n. This algorithm can be used to compute the leading and next-to-leading logarithm of y cut to all orders in QCD perturbation theory.
