QFT books that discuss Infra-red dimensional regularization?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the need for Quantum Field Theory (QFT) resources that specifically address infrared (IR) dimensional regularization. The user, having studied QFT through "An Introduction to Quantum Field Theory" by Peskin & Schroeder, seeks books that provide explicit examples of IR dimensional regularization techniques. Notable references mentioned include works by Smirnov and Leibbrandt, particularly the latter's discussion in Section IV.B, which covers IR divergences in detail.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with Quantum Field Theory concepts
  • Understanding of dimensional regularization techniques
  • Knowledge of infrared divergences in particle physics
  • Experience with mathematical methods in theoretical physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Smirnov's QFT books" for examples of IR dimensional regularization
  • Study "Leibbrandt's QFT text" focusing on Section IV.B for IR divergence discussions
  • Explore advanced QFT resources that include worked examples of dimensional regularization
  • Investigate online lectures or courses that cover IR regularization techniques in depth
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for theoretical physicists, graduate students in particle physics, and anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of infrared dimensional regularization in Quantum Field Theory.

I learned QFT by reading Peskin & Schroeder, and now find myself unfamiliar with dimensional regularization of IR divergences which is prevalent in the literature. Are there good QFT books which discusses IR dim. reg.? I understand the general idea of going to more than 4 dimensions as opposed to less than 4 dimensions for UV regularization, but I want to see explicitly worked out examples.
