Ronald Kleiss (Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen)

Quantum Field Theory

A Diagrammatic Approach

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

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.
