Introduction to Soft-Collinear Effective Theory
by Thomas Becher, Alessandro Broggio, Andrea Ferroglia
Publisher: arXiv 2014
Number of pages: 166
Description:
These lectures provide an introduction to Soft-Collinear Effective Theory. After discussing the expansion of Feynman diagrams around the high-energy limit, the effective Lagrangian is constructed, first for a scalar theory, then for QCD. The underlying concepts are illustrated with the Sudakov form factor...
