Quantum Field Theory - A Diagrammatic Approach

Informationen zum Autor Ronald Kleiss has been a CERN staff member and is a full professor at Radboud University in the Netherlands. Working in particle physics for more than forty years, he was one of the first theorists to develop Monte Carlo event generators for high-energy experiments. Klappentext Quantum field theory (QFT), the language of particle physics, is crucial to a physicist's graduate education. Based on lecture notes for established courses taught at Radboud University in the Netherlands, this book presents an alternative approach to teaching QFT using Feynman diagrams and includes exercises with solutions available online.
