Abstract
The traditional annual Theory Workshop at the German DESY Laboratory in Hamburg concentrated this time on quantum chromodynamics (QCD) – the unchallenged but yet to be convincingly confirmed theory of quark and gluon forces in strong nuclear interactions. In principle, QCD describes a broad range of phenomena, but it is a long way to get from the apparently simple basic equations of the theory to the observed experimental data. Tests of QCD are good only to within about 20 per cent, and in many cases a lot of work is required even to attain this goal. However the workshop showed that theorists are far from discouraged by technical difficulties and try to make progress with refined perturbation methods and with numerical simulations.
