About this title

Synopsis

Most of the numerical predictions of experimental phenomena in particle physics over the last decade have been made possible by the discovery and exploitation of the simplifications that can happen when phenomena are investigated on short distance and time scales. This book provides a coherent exposition of the techniques underlying these calculations. After reminding the reader of some basic properties of field theories, examples are used to explain the problems to be treated. Then the technique of dimensional regularization and the renormalization group. Finally a number of key applications are treated, culminating in the treatment of deeply inelastic scattering.

Book Description

A coherent exposition of the technique underlying the numerical calculations of experimental phenomena in the physics of elementary particles. The book explains in depth the technique of dimensional regularization, renormalization, and the renormalization group.
