Question related to completeness relation for photons

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around understanding the completeness relation for photons, specifically the term q^ and its significance. The user seeks clarification on how to solve an exercise from "Quarks and Leptons" by Halzen and Martin. There is a request for a definition of the term ελ and guidance on performing calculations related to it. Participants emphasize the importance of grasping these concepts for a deeper understanding of modern particle physics. Additional bibliographic resources are suggested to aid in further study.

completeness relation
Hi
Would you explain to me what is the q^ and how they are related to completeness.How can i solve this exercise?It is from "Quarks and leptons An Introductory course in Modern Particle Physics" of Halzen and Alan D.Martin.Also, can you point me to a useful bibliography?

Just write down the definition of the ##\epsilon_{\lambda}## and do the calculation by "brute force" (it's not too difficult).

Thread 'Help with Time-Independent Perturbation Theory "Good" States Proof'

(Disclaimer: this is not a HW question. I am self-studying, and this felt like the type of question I've seen in this forum. If there is somewhere better for me to share this doubt, please let me know and I'll transfer it right away.) I am currently reviewing Chapter 7 of Introduction to QM by Griffiths. I have been stuck for an hour or so trying to understand the last paragraph of this proof (pls check the attached file). It claims that we can express Ψ_{γ}(0) as a linear combination of...
