    Volume integral to spherical coords to contour integral

    ah, my mistake, x and r are the same thing. I am just comparing the first Born approximation with that of the transition matrix element for two fermions scattering off of each other. By making this comparison it can be seen that the potential (in momentum space) is V(q) = \frac{-g^2}{q^2+m^2}...

    Volume integral to spherical coords to contour integral

    Homework Statement V(x) = \int \frac{d^3q}{(2\pi)^3} \frac{-g^2}{|\vec{q}|^2 + m^2} \exp^{i \vec{q} \cdot \vec{x}} = -\frac{g^2}{4\pi^2} \int_0^{\infty} dq q^2 \frac{exp^{iqr}-exp^{-iqr}}{iqr} \frac{1}{q^2+m^2} = \frac{-g^2}{4\pi^2 i r} \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} dq \frac{q...
