Due Thursday, October 23, 2008 (Give to Hiren Patel)
1. Problem 7.5 from Aitchison & Hey
2. Problem 7.6 from Aitchison & Hey
3. Exercise 4.3 from Halzen & Martin
4. Draw the two leading order Feynman diagrams that contribute to Compton
scattering, γe→γe, and write out the corresponding matrix elements. Show that
their interference term vanishes.
5. Draw the two leading order Feynman diagrams that contribute to Bhabha
scattering, ee+ ee+, and write out the corresponding matrix elements. Show

  4. Draw the two leading order Feynman diagrams that contribute to Compton scattering, γe→γe, and write out the corresponding matrix elements. Show that their interference term vanishes.
  5. Draw the two leading order Feynman diagrams that contribute to Bhabha scattering, e–e+→ e–e+, and write out the corresponding matrix elements. Show that their interference term, in terms of the Mandelstam variables, is 2e^4 (2u^2 /ts).
