<David Gross> co-discovered <asymptotic freedom> with <Frank Wilczek>. Their calculation showed that a broad class of <Non-Abelian gauge theories> approaches free-field behavior at very short distances, with calculable logarithmic deviations. This gave a theoretical route from <quantum chromodynamics> to quantitative high-<energy> predictions and helped explain why <deep inelastic scattering> could reveal nearly free pointlike constituents inside strongly bound <hadrons>.<Ultraviolet Behavior of Non-Abelian Gauge Theories by David J. Gross and Frank Wilczek>[1973 abstract and short-distance calculation]{ref}
A <physicist> working on <quantum chromodynamics>.<Professional profile of David J. Gross>[Independent professional identity]{ref}
