This is because the relativistic equivalence of mass and energy plus the quantum possibility of fluctuations imply the existence of (real or virtual) creation and annihilation of particles in unlimited numbers. In spite of this, there exist processes, and energy ranges, where a treat ment in terms of ordinary quantum mechanical tools is appropriate, and the approximation of neglecting the full field-theoretic description is justified. Thus, one may use concepts such as potentials, and wave equations, clas sical fields and classical currents, etc. The present text is devoted precisely to the systematic discussion of these topics, to which we have added a gen eral description of one- and two-particle relativistic states, in particular for scattering processes. A field-theoretic approach may not be entirely avoided, and in fact an introduction to quantum field theory is presented in this text. However, field theory is not the object per se of this book; apart from a f | 出版日期 | Textbook 1996 | 关键词 | Cross Section; Potential; S-Matrix; Spin; quantum field theory; quantum mechanics; relativistic Quantum Me | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-61057-8 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-642-64674-4 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-642-61057-8Series ISSN 1864-5879 Series E-ISSN 1864-5887 | issn_series | 1864-5879 | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 1996 |
