Basics of Thermal Field Theory : A Tutorial on Perturbative Computations
Cham : Springer International Publishing : Imprint: Springer, 2016
Abstract/Sommario:
This book presents thermal field theory techniques, which can be applied in both cosmology and the theoretical description of the QCD plasma generated in heavy-ion collision experiments. It focuses on gauge interactions (whether weak or strong), which are essential in both contexts. As well as the many differences in the physics questions posed and in the microscopic forces playing a central role, the authors also explain the similarities and the techniques, such as the resummations, t ...; [leggi tutto]
