SCATTERING AMPLITUDES IN QUANTUM FIELD THEORY -...

This open access book bridges a gap between introductory Quantum Field Theory (QFT) courses and
state-of-the-art research in scattering amplitudes. It covers the path from basic definitions
of QFT to amplitudes  which are relevant for processes in the Standard Model of particle
physics. The book begins with a concise yet self-contained introduction to QFT  including
perturbative quantum gravity. It then presents modern methods for calculating scattering
amplitudes  focusing on tree-level amplitudes  loop-level integrands and loop integration
techniques. These methods help to reveal intriguing relations between gauge and gravity
amplitudes and are of increasing importance for obtaining high-precision predictions for
collider experiments  such as those at the Large Hadron Collider  as well as for foundational
mathematical physics studies in QFT  including recent applications to gravitational wave
physics.These course-tested lecture notes include numerous exercises with solutions. Requiring
only minimal knowledge of QFT  they are well-suited for MSc and PhD students as a preparation
for research projects in theoretical particle physics. They can be used as a one-semester
graduate level course  or as a self-study guide for researchers interested in fundamental
aspects of quantum field theory.
