1. how do you conclude that a field which can be removed by a gauge transformation is unphysical?
2. why is it that such a...
hi
in "Introduction to Elementary Particles" ed. 2 / David Griffiths
the writer states that a bilinear vertex in two different fields is always impossible (my words).
or in other words: theoretically we can't have a fundamental vertex with one particle coming in and one going out.
and...
