By Richard Webb. Quantum field theory marries the ideas of other quantum theories to depict all particles as “excitations” that arise in underlying fields. The British physicist...
quantum field theory, body of physical principles combining the elements of quantum mechanics with those of relativity to explain the behaviour of subatomic particles and their interactions via a variety of force fields.

In these lectures we present a few topics in Quantum Field Theory in detail. Some of them are conceptual and some more practical. They have been selected because they appear frequently in current applications to Particle Physics and String Theory. ∗Based on lectures delivered by L.A.-G. at the 3rd. CERN-CLAFSchool of High-Energy Physics ...
A modern, accessible, inclusive, first principles introduction to quantum field theory. Provides a basic working knowledge of field theory, functional methods and Feynman diagrams. Introduces renormalization, the renormalization group and the basics of quantum electrodynamics.
Based on a course taught by the author over many years, this book is ideal for an introductory to advanced quantum field theory sequence or for independent study. Highlights: Theoretical methods are motivated and validated with concrete physical questions and experimental data.
Although there was no unique and fully developed theory, quantum field theoretical tools could be applied to concrete processes. Examples are the scattering of radiation by free electrons (“Compton scattering”), the collision between relativistic electrons or the production of electron-positron pairs by photons.
