As Scales Become Separated: Lectures on Effective Field Theory
by Timothy Cohen
Publisher: arXiv.org 2019
Number of pages: 183
Description:
These lectures aim to provide a pedagogical introduction to the philosophical underpinnings and technical features of Effective Field Theory (EFT). Improving control of S-matrix elements in the presence of a large hierarchy of physical scales is emphasized.
