What are Hard QCD processes ?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
hard means perturbative, i.e. processes which one can calculate using perturbation theory = momentum transfer is larger than around 250 GeV. At this energy, the QCD coupling constant becomes "large" so that perturbation theory is no longer valid.
