Electron anomalous magnetic moment

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the first-order (1 loop) correction to the electron's anomalous magnetic moment, specifically the transition from equation (17.23) to (17.24) as outlined in the texts by Schwartz and Peskin. The user expresses uncertainty regarding the calculations involved and seeks references for the derivation of these equations. It is established that detailed calculations are often omitted in textbooks, which can hinder understanding.

PREREQUISITES
  • Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) fundamentals
  • Feynman diagram interpretation
  • Understanding of perturbation theory
  • Familiarity with Schwartz and Peskin's textbooks
NEXT STEPS
  • Review the derivation of the anomalous magnetic moment in "An Introduction to Quantum Electrodynamics" by Schwartz
  • Study the relevant sections in "An Introduction to Quantum Field Theory" by Peskin and Schroeder
  • Explore peer-reviewed articles on the electron's anomalous magnetic moment for detailed calculations
  • Practice Feynman diagram calculations related to one-loop corrections in QED
USEFUL FOR

Students and researchers in theoretical physics, particularly those focusing on quantum electrodynamics and particle physics, will benefit from this discussion.

Hello there!
I'm trying to check the first order (1 loop) correction to the electron magnetic moment. I'm following Schwartz and Peskin, but both of them have a point where they hide the calculations, and I'm not sure if my calculations are correct.

The point is exactly this:

I don't know how to get from (17.23) to (17.24).
Do you know where can I check those steeps?
Thanks :)

There should be some publication where this was first derived.
Textbooks don't like to fill full pages with calculations barely anyone will follow.
