Puzzles of <strong>QCD</strong><br />

<strong>QCD</strong> must have Color Confinement: Only color singlet mesons and baryons<br />

can propagate over long distances.<br />

Color confinement is verified numerically in numerical lattice simulations<br />

and modelled phenomenologically, but the mechanism is still poorly unders<strong>to</strong>od.<br />

Baryons and mesons are bound states of quarks. What are the wave functions?<br />

The quarks and gluons bound in hadrons are highly relativistic.<br />

Data and models exist, but no calculations comparable <strong>to</strong> QED a<strong>to</strong>ms.<br />

How can we compare data on hadron final states with perturbative <strong>QCD</strong>?<br />

Fac<strong>to</strong>rization theorems allow <strong>to</strong> express physical measurements in terms of hard,<br />

perturbative subprocesses and universal, measurable quark and gluon distributions.<br />
