Add to basketDruck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This open access book bridges a gap between introductory Quantum Field Theory (QFT) courses and state-of-the-art research in scattering amplitudes. It covers the path from basic definitions of QFT to amplitudes, which are relevant for processes in the Standard Modelof particle physics. The book begins with a concise yet self-contained introduction to QFT, including perturbative quantum gravity. It then presents modern methods for calculating scattering amplitudes, focusing on tree-level amplitudes, loop-level integrands and loop integration techniques. These methods help to reveal intriguing relations between gauge and gravity amplitudes and are of increasing importance for obtaining high-precision predictions for collider experiments, such as those at the Large Hadron Collider, as well as for foundational mathematical physics studies in QFT, including recent applications to gravitational wave physics.These course-tested lecture notes include numerous exercises with solutions. Requiring only minimal knowledge of QFT, they are well-suited for MSc and PhD students as a preparation for research projects in theoretical particle physics. They can be used as a one-semester graduate level course, or as a self-study guide for researchers interested in fundamental aspects of quantum field theory.

Prof. Simon Badger received his doctorate in theoretical physics in 2006 from Durham University in the UK. He has held a number of research appointments including the Niels Bohr Institute, CERN, the University of Edinburgh and Durham University. He joined the University of Turin as associate professor in 2020. He works on multi-loop scattering amplitudes in the Standard Model and precision LHC phenomenology. He was awarded a Consolidator Grant from the European Research Council for the project "High precision multi-jet dynamics at the LHC" in 2018.
Prof. Dr. Johannes Henn received his doctorate in physics from Lyon University in 2008, and has held research appointments at Humboldt University Berlin, the Institute for Advanced Study Princeton, and Mainz University. In 2018, he was appointed to the Max Planck Institute for Physics as a Director. He works on mathematical structures in quantum field theory, with a focus on applications to multi-loop scattering amplitudes. In 2017, he received a Consolidator Grant from the European Research Council with the project "Novel structures in scattering amplitudes".
Prof. Dr. Jan Plefka studied physics at the TU Darmstadt and Texas A&M University receiving his doctorate in theoretical physics from Hannover University in 1995. He held research appointments at City University New York, NIKHEF Amsterdam and the Max-Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics in Potsdam. In 2006 he was appointed as associate and 2011 as full professor for theoretical physics at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. He works on aspects of quantum field theory and gravity, with a focus on scattering amplitudes, gauge-gravity dualities, hidden symmetries and applications of amplitude techniques to classical gravitational wave physics. He received an Advanced Grant from the European Research Council with the project "High-Precision Gravitational Wave Physics from a Worldline Quantum Field Theory" in 2023.
Dr. Simone Zoia received his doctorate in physics from Ludwig Maximilians University Munich in 2021, after carrying out research at Mainz University and at the Max Planck Institute for Physics. Currently, he holds a post-doctoral position at the University of Turin. He works on multi-loop scattering amplitudes and Feynman integrals, with a particular interest in their mathematical properties and in analytic techniques. In 2023, he was awarded a Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship from the European Research Council."About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.

I. General Terms and Conditions
§ 1 Basic provisions
(1) The following terms and conditions apply to all contracts that you conclude with us as a provider (AHA-BUCH GmbH) via the Internet platforms AbeBooks and/or ZVAB. Unless otherwise agreed, the inclusion of any of your own terms and conditions used by you will be objected to
(2) A consumer within the meaning of the following regulations is any natural person who concludes...
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
We ship your order after we received them
for articles on hand latest 24 hours,
for articles with overnight supply latest 48 hours.
In case we need to order an article from our supplier our dispatch time depends on the reception date of the articles, but the articles will be shipped on the same day.
Our goal is to send the ordered articles in the fastest, but also most efficient and secure way to our customers.
