Running of Coupling Constants
Generic property of any field theory: higher order corrections (loops) induce momentum (distance) dependence of coupling constants.
This is known as an effect of "vacuum polarization"
The magnitude and the direction of the change depends on the type of the interaction

Running of Coupling Constants
? QED (electromagnetic interactions): photons have no charge, so to first order include only fermion loops
? Coupling constant depends on momentum transfer Q2 ~ 2/x2, the number of active fermions nf (with

Two regimes: quarks are asymptotically free at short distances (high energies), but are confined to hadrons when pulled apart (low energies)
