    Ray Diagrams: 2nd Incidence Ray - Which Is Correct?

    Hello. I have a concern in relation to ray diagrams. So I read that the first incidence ray I draw must be parallel to the principle axis and be reflected such that it passes through the principle axis. Ok so this part isn't too much of a worry. However it states that the second ray must be...

    Understanding Gravity with Embedding Diagrams

    A help to understand how gravity works in our universe is called an embedding diagram. It is a three-dimensional representation of what happens to a two-dimensional universe in the presence of mass, i.e. the plane is distorted into a 'gravity' pit. What happens if we extend this concept to...

    Feynman diagrams - neutrino interactions

    I have some well ordered feyman diagrams which have an incoming neutrino interacting at a vertex with a w boson and emitting an electron. since a neutrino can pass through some 18 light years of led without interacting, I'm wandering how a single neutrino interacts at this vertex?

    Wick's Theorm to Feynman Diagrams?

    Is this right? To calculate a scattering amplitude for a certain scattering event, you take the term in the wick's expansion of the S-Matrix that suits your situation best. Then you draw a Feynman Diagram that corresponds to the term in the wick's expansion, then just use the Feynman Rules to...

    Do we really need loop diagrams?

    Is it really necessary to learn how to calculate loop diagrams in QFT? In the Wilsonian approach, you only need to calculate tree diagrams. In the loop approach, you have to relate the experimentally measured coupling constant to the bare coupling constant, and I guess the difficulty is...
