Question related to completeness relation for photons

Click For 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 derivation of electric field of a moving charge'

At first, I derived that: $$\nabla \frac 1{\mu}=-\frac 1{{\mu}^3}\left((1-\beta^2)+\frac{\dot{\vec\beta}\cdot\vec R}c\right)\vec R$$ (dot means differentiation with respect to ##t'##). I assume this result is true because it gives valid result for magnetic field. To find electric field one should also derive partial derivative of ##\vec A## with respect to ##t##. I've used chain rule, substituted ##\vec A## and used derivative of product formula. $$\frac {\partial \vec A}{\partial t}=\frac...
