  • Renormalized Perturbation Theory and its Optimization by the Principle of Minimal Sensitivity

    by P M Stevenson ...
    The results of renormalized perturbation theory, in QCD and other quantum field theories, are ambiguous at any finite order, due to renormalization-scheme dependence. The perturbative results depend upon extraneous scheme variables, including the renormalization scale, that the exact result cannot depend on. Such 'non-invariant approximations' occur in many other areas of physics, too. The ... Read more

    Current theory claims that there are 4 fundamental forces of nature which existed as a superforce at t=0. Carl Anderson experimentally proved that gamma ray photons split into electron-positron pairs. Physicists at Imperial College London built a photon-photon collider where low energy photons collide, coalesce and split into electron-positron pairs. This means that the primeval energy split into ... Read more
