The Structure of Hadronic Physics — •John Bourke Dainton — Department of Physics, Oliver Lodge Laboratory, The University of Liverpool, Liverpool L69 7ZE, Great Britain

Our understanding of the way hadrons interact with each other is outlined. The phenomenology of hadronic interactions at high energy, which developed in the 1960s, is briefly explained. Following the introduction of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and its success in elucidating the nature of nucleon structure in the 1970s, experimental results, both new and not so new, are described which, when taken together, provide for the first time insight into the structure of the chromodynamic mechanisms responsible for hadronic interactions.
