This textbook is divided into two parts. The first discusses the discrete transformations for the Dirac equation, and the central force problem for the Dirac equation. The second part examines the external field problem, pair production and vacuum polarization leading to charge renormalization.

This invaluable textbook is divided into two parts. The first part includes a detailed discussion on the discrete transformations for the Dirac equation, as well as on the central force problem for the Dirac equation. In the second part, the external field problem is examined; pair production and vacuum polarization leading to charge renormalization are treated in detail.Relativistic Quantum Mechanics and Introduction to Quantum Field Theory has arisen from a graduate course which the author taught for several years at the University of Alberta to students interested in particle physics and field theory.

Inhalt

Relativistic quantum mechanics: the Poincare group; spin 0 - the Klein-Gordon equation; the Dirac equation; structure of Dirac particles; Dirac equation - central potentials; the Weyl or neutrino equation. Relativistic quantum field theory: the neutral Klein-Gordon field; the charged Klein-Gordon field; the Dirac field; asymptotic fields - LSZ formulation; perturbation theory.
