Hello there,

I have to do an essay for my university class, and want to use virtual particles (or virtual eletrons)... And i want to know if people here have good sources (good universities) about this issue.

Thanks all

hello cliffreich! welcome to pf! :smile:

if you must, a good start is do a tag search on this forum for "virtual particles"

but i strongly recommend that (if you don't already know all about them) you choose something easier and less mathematical :wink:​
