Homework Statement



I'm working through the derivation of the Compton scattering crossection and I'm getting stuck partway through. More details below:

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution



So, I'm following along with Zee section II.8.

We have two diagrams that contribute to order e^2, one that corresponds to the following amplitude:

A(\epsilon',k',\epsilon,k)=ie^2\bar{u}'\frac{{\not}\epsilon' {\not} \epsilon {\not} k}{2pk}u

The other diagram corresponds to A(\epsilon,-k,\epsilon',k')

Now, I want to find the crossection, which means I have to square the total amplitude, so I end up with a term like:

|A(\epsilon',k',\epsilon,k)|^2=\frac{e^4}{(2pk)^2} Tr(u'\bar{u}' {\not}\epsilon' {\not} \epsilon{\not}k u\bar{u} {\not}k {\not} \epsilon {\not}\epsilon')

=\frac{e^4}{(2pk)^2} Tr(({\not}p'+m) {\not}\epsilon' {\not} \epsilon{\not}k ({\not}p +m ){\not}k {\not} \epsilon {\not}\epsilon')From here, we simplify, and multiply everything out. The m^2 term drops out because {\not}k{\not}k=k^2=\mu^2=0 where mu is the photon mass.

The {\not}p m terms involve odd numbers of gamma matrices and thus drop out when we take the trace. So, we're left with:

=\frac{e^4}{(2pk)^2} Tr({\not}p' {\not}\epsilon' {\not} \epsilon{\not}k {\not}p{\not}k {\not} \epsilon {\not}\epsilon')

Now we simplify using the normalization for the polarization vectors and the anti commutation relations. We get down to:

=\frac{e^4}{(2pk)} Tr({\not}p' {\not}\epsilon' {\not} {\not}k {\not} \epsilon) =4\frac{e^4}{(2pk)}(2(k\epsilon')^2 +k'p))

This last step is where I am getting stuck. I can fill in all the gaps up to this point. This is what I do:

I anticommute the k and epsilon' and then use the normalization {\not}\epsilon'^2=-1

Thus, I am left with:

=4\frac{e^4}{(2pk)}Tr({\not}p'(2k\epsilon') {\not} \epsilon'+{\not}p'{\not}k)

I don't see how I can get to the result given in the line above. The factor of four comes from the trace over the gamma matrices, but specifically, how do I get a term proportional to (k\epsilon')^2

I think I have to express p' in terms of p and k', but I still don't see how I can get to the answer given.

Thanks alot. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
