Book Scattering Amplitudes in Gauge Theories

Download or read book Scattering Amplitudes in Gauge Theories written by Johannes M. Henn and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-02-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the fundamental level, the interactions of elementary particles are described by quantum gauge field theory. The quantitative implications of these interactions are captured by scattering amplitudes, traditionally computed using Feynman diagrams. In the past decade tremendous progress has been made in our understanding of and computational abilities with regard to scattering amplitudes in gauge theories, going beyond the traditional textbook approach. These advances build upon on-shell methods that focus on the analytic structure of the amplitudes, as well as on their recently discovered hidden symmetries. In fact, when expressed in suitable variables the amplitudes are much simpler than anticipated and hidden patterns emerge. These modern methods are of increasing importance in phenomenological applications arising from the need for high-precision predictions for the experiments carried out at the Large Hadron Collider, as well as in foundational mathematical physics studies on the S-matrix in quantum field theory. Bridging the gap between introductory courses on quantum field theory and state-of-the-art research, these concise yet self-contained and course-tested lecture notes are well-suited for a one-semester graduate level course or as a self-study guide for anyone interested in fundamental aspects of quantum field theory and its applications. The numerous exercises and solutions included will help readers to embrace and apply the material presented in the main text.

Book Grassmannian Geometry of Scattering Amplitudes

Download or read book Grassmannian Geometry of Scattering Amplitudes written by Nima Arkani-Hamed and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-05 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Outlining a revolutionary reformulation of the foundations of perturbative quantum field theory, this book is a self-contained and authoritative analysis of the application of this new formulation to the case of planar, maximally supersymmetric Yang–Mills theory. The book begins by deriving connections between scattering amplitudes and Grassmannian geometry from first principles before introducing novel physical and mathematical ideas in a systematic manner accessible to both physicists and mathematicians. The principle players in this process are on-shell functions which are closely related to certain sub-strata of Grassmannian manifolds called positroids - in terms of which the classification of on-shell functions and their relations becomes combinatorially manifest. This is an essential introduction to the geometry and combinatorics of the positroid stratification of the Grassmannian and an ideal text for advanced students and researchers working in the areas of field theory, high energy physics, and the broader fields of mathematical physics.

Book Scattering Amplitudes in Quantum Field Theory

Download or read book Scattering Amplitudes in Quantum Field Theory written by Simon Badger and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2024-02-01 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book bridges a gap between introductory Quantum Field Theory (QFT) courses and state-of-the-art research in scattering amplitudes. It covers the path from basic definitions of QFT to amplitudes, which are relevant for processes in the Standard Model of particle physics. The book begins with a concise yet self-contained introduction to QFT, including perturbative quantum gravity. It then presents modern methods for calculating scattering amplitudes, focusing on tree-level amplitudes, loop-level integrands and loop integration techniques. These methods help to reveal intriguing relations between gauge and gravity amplitudes and are of increasing importance for obtaining high-precision predictions for collider experiments, such as those at the Large Hadron Collider, as well as for foundational mathematical physics studies in QFT, including recent applications to gravitational wave physics.These course-tested lecture notes include numerous exercises with solutions. Requiring only minimal knowledge of QFT, they are well-suited for MSc and PhD students as a preparation for research projects in theoretical particle physics. They can be used as a one-semester graduate level course, or as a self-study guide for researchers interested in fundamental aspects of quantum field theory.

Book Recursive Relations of Scattering Amplitudes in Gauge and Gravity Theories

Download or read book Recursive Relations of Scattering Amplitudes in Gauge and Gravity Theories written by Yang Zhang and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this dissertation, we discussed the new development of scattering amplitudes in gauge and gravities theories. The LHC era requires the new development of scattering amplitude beyond the traditional Feynman diagram approach. We reviewed the new scattering amplitude methods, inspired by string theory, analyticity and supersymmetry. With these new methods, we [37][54] proved (1) the color/kinematics equivalence in Bern-Carrasco-Johansson (BCJ) recursive identity from the viewpoint of heterotic string theory and (2) the quadratic identities for Yang-Mills theory via the Kawai-Lewellen-Tye (KLT) relation. Both identities simplify the Yang-Mills amplitude calculation and illustrate deep structures in gauge and gravity theories.

Book Modern Analytic Methods for Computing Scattering Amplitudes

Download or read book Modern Analytic Methods for Computing Scattering Amplitudes written by Simone Zoia and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-05-18 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work presents some essential techniques that constitute the modern strategy for computing scattering amplitudes. It begins with an introductory chapter to fill the gap between a standard QFT course and the latest developments in the field. The author then tackles the main bottleneck: the computation of the loop Feynman integrals. The most efficient technique for their computation is the method of the differential equations. This is discussed in detail, with a particular focus on the mathematical aspects involved in the derivation of the differential equations and their solution. Ample space is devoted to the special functions arising from the differential equations, to their analytic properties, and to the mathematical techniques which allow us to handle them systematically. The thesis also addresses the application of these techniques to a cutting-edge problem of importance for the physics programme of the Large Hadron Collider: five-particle amplitudes at two-loop order. It presents the first analytic results for complete two-loop five-particle amplitudes, in supersymmetric theories and QCD. The techniques discussed here open the door to precision phenomenology for processes of phenomenological interest, such as three-photon, three-jet, and di-photon + jet production.

Download or read book Quantum Field Theory written by François Gelis and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-07-11 with total page 611 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This modern text combines fundamental principles with advanced topics and recent techniques in a rigorous and self-contained treatment of quantum field theory.Beginning with a review of basic principles, starting with quantum mechanics and special relativity, students can refresh their knowledge of elementary aspects of quantum field theory and perturbative calculations in the Standard Model. Results and tools relevant to many applications are covered, including canonical quantization, path integrals, non-Abelian gauge theories, and the renormalization group. Advanced topics are explored, with detail given on effective field theories, quantum anomalies, stable extended field configurations, lattice field theory, and field theory at a finite temperature or in the strong field regime. Two chapters are dedicated to new methods for calculating scattering amplitudes (spinor-helicity, on-shell recursion, and generalized unitarity), equipping students with practical skills for research. Accessibly written, with numerous worked examples and end-of-chapter problems, this is an essential text for graduate students. The breadth of coverage makes it an equally excellent reference for researchers.
