Scattering Processes in Scalar Yukawa Theory
I'm trying to compute nucleon-nucleon scattering in scalar Yukawa theory. Here we view a nucleon as a complex scalar field $\psi$ and a meson as a real scalar field $\phi$. They interact through ...

Scattering states of Hydrogen atom in non-relativistic perturbation theory
In doing second order time-independent perturbation theory in non-relativistic quantum mechanics one has to calculate the overlap between states

Tree level QFT and classical fields/particles
It is well known that scattering cross-sections computed at tree level correspond to cross-sections in the classical theory. For example the tree level cross-section for electron-electron scaterring ...
