In summary, the problem in Physics Problem 6.8 from "Quarks and Leptons" involves using the Schrödinger equation to calculate the energy levels of a quark system. Quarks and leptons are elementary particles that make up matter, with quarks composing protons and neutrons and leptons including electrons and neutrinos. The Schrödinger equation is a fundamental equation in quantum mechanics that describes particle behavior, and in this problem, it is used to find the energy levels of the quark system. To solve the problem, one must apply the Schrödinger equation to the given system of quarks and solve for the wave function and energy eigenvalues. Understanding of quantum mechanics, the

Hello:

I have a problem and I need your help, please. I need to solve the problem 6.8 from "Quarks and Leptons. An Introductory Course in Modern Particle Physics - F.Halzem,A.Martin". It is:

Calculate the cross section for elastic scattering of unpolarized electrons from spinless point-like particles. The result is:

[tex]{d\sigma}/{dΩ}|_{Lab} = (\frac{\alpha^2}{4E^2sen^4{\vartheta/2})}) \frac{E´}{E} cos^2{\vartheta/2}[/tex]


I use as invariant amplitude:

[tex]|M|^2 = \frac{e^4}{q^4} L^{\nu\mu}_{e^-} (p+p´)_{\mu}(p+p´)_{\nu}[/tex]

Sure that I make a mistake because I am very near to the solution.

Can someone, please, tell me the name of a book in where I can see the exercise done?

Thank you.
