Foundation of perturbative QCD
Renormalization – QCD is renormalizable
Asymptotic freedom – weaker interaction at a shorter distance
Infrared safety – pQCD factorization and
calculable short distance dynamics

Summary
QCD is a SU(3) color non-Abelian gauge theory of quark and gluon fields
QCD perturbation theory works at high energybecause of the asymptotic freedom
Perturbative QCD calculations make sense onlyfor infrared safe (IRS) quantities
QCD perturbation theory is effectively a masslesstheory – renormalization group equation for the
parton mass
Look for IR safe quantities
