The discussion focuses on the search for quality literature regarding MHV and Parke-Taylor, with a specific interest in the proofs for the validity of the methodologies involved. A recommended resource is a PDF from TUM, which provides some useful insights. Participants mention Lance Dixon's lecture notes and another reference suggested by Srednicki's QFT book, indicating their relevance to the topic. The complexity of the literature is acknowledged, but the mathematical challenges of string theory are noted as a separate concern. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the need for thorough study of the recommended materials.

I've been having some trouble finding good quality literature in regards to MHV and Parke-Taylor.

One of the better references I found being

https://www.ph.nat.tum.de/fileadmin/w00bya/ttpmath/pdf/sheet10-11.pdf

What I've having difficulty finding is the proofs for validity of the methodology specifically. Any recommendations appreciated.
Complexity of the literature isn't an issue the QFT mathematics wouldn't be an issue though string theory mathematics would be.
(Haven't looked at String theory in the last few years)

Thread 'Some confusion with the Binding Energy graph of atoms'

My question is about the following graph: I keep on reading that fusing atoms up until Fe-56 doesn’t cost energy and only releases binding energy. However, I understood that fusing atoms also require energy to overcome the positive charges of the protons. Where does that energy go after fusion? Does it go into the mass of the newly fused atom, escape as heat or is the released binding energy shown in the graph actually the net energy after subtracting the required fusion energy? I...

Thread 'Calculate the energy-loss straggling of particles using LISE++'

Hello everyone, I am trying to calculate the energy loss and straggling of alpha particles with same energy, I used LISE++ to obtain the energy loss in every layer of the materials using Spectrometer Design of LISE++, but I can only calculate the energy-loss straggling layer by layer. Does anyone know the way to obtain the energy-loss straggling caused by every layer? Any help would be appreciated. J.
