QCD and Jets

Abstract

These lectures introduce some of the basic methods of perturbative QCD and their applications to phenomenology at high energy. Emphasis is given to techniques that are used to study QCD and related field theories to all orders in perturbation theory, with introductions to infrared safety, factorization and evolution in high energy hard scattering.
