Toy. model. theory. Before turning to the full-fledged quantum electrodynamics, in this section we are going to practice on a simple – but at the same time quite realistic – model theory with a variable number of particles.
Several significant additions have been made to the second edition, including the operator method of calculating the bremsstrahlung cross-section, the calcualtion of the probabilities of photon-induced pair production and photon decay in a ...
We thank several colleagues for helpful comments and also are grateful to Dr. R. Mattiello who has supervised the preparation of the second edition of the book.
Presents the main results and calculational procedures of quantum electrodynamics in a simple and straightforward way.
This text material constitutes notes on the third of a three-semester course in quantum mechanics given at the California Institute of Technology in 1953, presenting the main results and calculational procedures of quantum electrodynamics.
We also wish to thank Springer-Verlag for undertaking publication of this edition by an unorthodox method, but one which will reduce the cost to the reader.
Whereas then' has been significant progress in various branches of elementary particle physics during the last decade or so, Quantum Electrodynamics seems to be in a somewhat stagnating phase.
The final two chapters deal with renormalization theory and applications of QED. This book is addressed to readers who are familiar with quantum mechanics and classical electrodynamics at the level of university courses.
This is as it should be. The point of the series is to offer new, rapid, more informal, and, it is hoped, more effec tive ways for physicists to teach one another. The point is lost if only elegant notes qualify.
An accessible graduate-level introduction to quantum electrodynamics, a core topic in particle and theoretical physics.
This volume presents an up-to-date review of high precision experimental tests of QED together with comprehensive discussion of required theoretical work.
This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it. This work is in the public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.
Quantum Electrodynamics
Presents the main results and calculational procedures of quantum electrodynamics in a simple and straightforward way.
This book contains a systematic analysis of the formalisms of quantum electro- dynamics in the presence of an intense external field able to create pairs from the vacuum, and thereby...
