Relativistic Quantum Mechanics An Introduction to Relativistic Quantum Fields

Langue : Anglais

Couverture de l’ouvrage Relativistic Quantum Mechanics

Written by two of the most prominent leaders in particle physics, Relativistic Quantum Mechanics: An Introduction to Relativistic Quantum Fields provides a classroom-tested introduction to the formal and conceptual foundations of quantum field theory. Designed for advanced undergraduate- and graduate-level physics students, the text only requires previous courses in classical mechanics, relativity, and quantum mechanics.

The introductory chapters of the book summarize the theory of special relativity and its application to the classical description of the motion of a free particle and a field. The authors then explain the quantum formulation of field theory through the simple example of a scalar field described by the Klein?Gordon equation as well as its extension to the case of spin ? particles described by the Dirac equation. They also present the elements necessary for constructing the foundational theories of the standard model of electroweak interactions, namely quantum electrodynamics and the Fermi theory of neutron beta decay. Many applications to quantum electrodynamics and weak interaction processes are thoroughly analyzed. The book also explores the timely topic of neutrino oscillations.

Logically progressing from the fundamentals to recent discoveries, this textbook provides students with the essential foundation to study more advanced theoretical physics and elementary particle physics. It will help them understand the theory of electroweak interactions and gauge theories.

Luciano Maiani is a professor of physics at La Sapienza University of Rome. He was the president of Italy's Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN), director-general of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), and president of Italy's National Research Council (CNR). He is the author or coauthor of more than 200 scientific publications on the theory of elementary particles. In 1970, S. Glashow, J. Iliopoulos, and Dr. Maiani put forth the important Glashow-Iliopoulos-Maiani (GIM) mechanism, which predicted charmed particles. Dr. Maiani has also won numerous honors, including the Dirac Medal. Omar Benhar is the research director at INFN and a senior member of the High Energy Theory Group at La Sapienza University of Rome. Dr. Benhar has published more than 100 papers in the areas of astroparticle physics and particle phenomenology.
