Im currently studying different kinds of processes in QFT.
Does somebody know where to find all the calculus done step by step on the web.
It will be very helpfull.
thanks in advance,
Marco.

Just to be clear:

You want something on the web that shows all the math to calculate a cross section from a feynman diagram for many different processes (qed, weak, strong, etc)?

yep I am so lazy...

I doubt you will find much spelled out in nitty gritty detail on the web. Feynman diagram calculations are rather tedious to compute (hence the reason they're often given as homework problems). In practise, proffessionals use either a computer, have the result handy already, or they have learned the necessary tricks to get the information they want quickly, without doing the full algebra.

Probably the book that does the best job showing actual calculations in an understandable way is Griffiths 'introduction to elementary particles' as he does quite a few more examples than most books do (at least that I have read).
 
thanks for suggestions.

Thread 'Toponium Discovered'

Toponium is a hadron which is the bound state of a valance top quark and a valance antitop quark. Oversimplified presentations often state that top quarks don't form hadrons, because they decay to bottom quarks extremely rapidly after they are created, leaving no time to form a hadron. And, the vast majority of the time, this is true. But, the lifetime of a top quark is only an average lifetime. Sometimes it decays faster and sometimes it decays slower. In the highly improbable case that...

Thread 'Dirac-Delta from Normalization of Continuous Eigenfunctions'

I'm following this paper by Kitaev on SL(2,R) representations and I'm having a problem in the normalization of the continuous eigenfunctions (eqs. (67)-(70)), which satisfy \langle f_s | f_{s'} \rangle = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{2}{(1-u)^2} f_s(u)^* f_{s'}(u) \, du. \tag{67} The singular contribution of the integral arises at the endpoint u=1 of the integral, and in the limit u \to 1, the function f_s(u) takes on the form f_s(u) \approx a_s (1-u)^{1/2 + i s} + a_s^* (1-u)^{1/2 - i s}. \tag{70}...
