Scattering Amplitudes
by Henriette Elvang, Yu-tin Huang
Publisher: arXiv 2013
Number of pages: 268
Description:
The purpose of this review is to bridge the gap between a standard course in quantum field theory and recent fascinating developments in the studies of on-shell scattering amplitudes. We build up the subject from basic quantum field theory, starting with Feynman rules for simple processes in Yukawa theory and QED.
