DESCRIPTION:
The treatment is thoroughwithout being cluttered with matter irrelevant to practical calculation; it is careful without being pedantic; and it is well supplied with applications to experimental situationsthe contents make this excellent value.Physics Bulletin
The title of this second edition has been changed from Relativistic Quantum Theory, due to the omission of the chapters on weak interactions and topics in the theory of strong interactions. Several significant additions have been made, including the operator method of calculating the bremsstrahlung cross-section, the calculation of the probabilities of photon-induced pair production and photon decay in a magnetic field, the asymptotic form of the scattering amplitudes at high energies, inelastic scattering of electrons by hadrons, and the transformation of electron-positron pairs into hadrons.
Good structure Naoki Kuribara The book is structured by streaming logic with orthodocs mathematics,however of which symbols are sometimes not standard.It refers to another volume which is not convienient for a single volume user.. Ehh T. Nicholas Kypreos I am a big fan of the Landau book on Classical mechanics, but this one doesn't come anywhere near the clarity presented in that text. The notation in the book is archaic and does not process well into other texts. I do, however, like the method he goes about presenting material -- it's just necessarily more difficult than it needs to be. I would recommend Srednicki or Peskin for. A good introduction This book gives a solid introduction to the simplest of gauge theories, that of the Abelian gauge field governing the interactions between photons and charged particles. The emphasis is on doing calculations, and so readers who need a more in-depth mathematical or "foundational" overview of quantum electrodynamics may be disappointed. Quantum field theory of course was not found
