Relativistic Quantum Mechanics

About this book

In this text the authors develop a propagator theory of Dirac particles photons and Klein-Gordon mesons and per- form a series of calculations designed to illustrate various useful techniques and concepts in electromagnetic weak and strong interactions. these include defining and implementing the renormalization program and evaluating effects of radia- tive corrections such as the Lamb shift in low-order calculations. The necessary background for the book is pro- vided by a course in nonrelativistic quantum mechanics at the general level of Schiffs text QUANTUM MECHANICS.
