Renormalization : An Introduction to Renormalization, the Renormalization Group and the Operator-Product Expansion, Paperback / softback Book

Renormalization : An Introduction to Renormalization, the Renormalization Group and the Operator-Product Expansion Paperback / softback

Part of the Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics series

Paperback / softback

Description

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.
