Taking a heuristic approach to relativistic quantum mechanics,
Practical Quantum Electrodynamics provides a complete introduction
to the theory, methodologies, and calculations used for explaining
the physical interaction of charged particles. This book combines
the principles of relativity and quantum theory necessary for
performing the calculations of the electromagnetic scattering of
electrons and positrons and the emission and absorption of photons.
Beginning with an introduction of the wave equations for spin-0 and
spin-1/2 particles, the author compares and contrasts the
relativistic and spin effects for both types of particles. He
emphasizes how the relativistic treatment of quantum mechanics and
the spin-1/2 degree of freedom are necessary to describe
electromagnetic interactions involving electron scattering and
points out the shortfalls of the wave-equation approach to
relativistic quantum mechanics. Developing the Feynman rules for
quantum electrodynamics by example, the book offers an intuitive,
hands-on approach for performing fundamental calculations. It also
illustrates how to perform calculations that can be related to
experiments such as diagrams, lifetimes, and cross sections.
Practical Quantum Electrodynamics builds a strong foundation for
further studies and research in theoretical and particle physics,
particularly relativistic quantum field theory or nonrelativistic
many-body theory.
