SUMMARY

Electron-electron scattering, also known as Moller scattering, is a fundamental topic in quantum electrodynamics. To derive the differential cross section for this process, one must begin with Feynman diagrams and calculate the corresponding Feynman amplitudes. The discussion references "Introduction to Elementary Particles" by David Griffiths, specifically Chapter 6, as a key resource for understanding the theoretical framework. Participants in the forum emphasized the importance of mastering these concepts to progress in the topic.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Feynman diagrams
  • Knowledge of Feynman amplitudes
  • Familiarity with quantum electrodynamics (QED)
  • Basic principles of scattering theory
NEXT STEPS
  • Study Feynman diagrams in detail
  • Learn how to calculate Feynman amplitudes for Moller scattering
  • Explore the derivation of differential cross sections in quantum mechanics
  • Read Chapter 6 of "Introduction to Elementary Particles" by David Griffiths
USEFUL FOR

Students of particle physics, physicists specializing in quantum electrodynamics, and anyone seeking to understand the principles of electron-electron scattering.

Hi everyone.Electon-electron or Moller Scattering is the topic of my homework and i also have to derive the differential cross section equation/formula.
The problem is i do not know how to start it and continue.
Please help me and show me a path.It also may work if you have already worked it,please explain it to me breifly.

I am waiting your answers.Thank you so much.

I imagine drawing the Feynman diagrams and calculating the Feynman amplitudes would be a start.

thank you so much for that quick answer.your answer is the same that i just realized.
in the book ıntroduction to elemantary particles, dr.griffiths , the 6 th chapter it is.
is that the things and explanings from the link you gave enough for a start.i mean if i pass this part please point the next topic.thank you so much.
