Infraparticle Scattering States in Non-relativistic Qed: I. the Bloch-nordsieck Paradigm
نویسنده
چکیده
We construct infraparticle scattering states for Compton scattering in the standard model of non-relativistic QED. In our construction, an infrared cutoff initially introduced to regularize the model is removed completely. We rigorously establish the properties of infraparticle scattering theory predicted in the classic work of Bloch and Nordsieck from the 1930’s, Faddeev and Kulish, and others. Our results represent a basic step towards solving the infrared problem in (non-relativistic) QED.

Infraparticle Scattering States in Non-relativistic Qed: Ii. Mass Shell Properties
We study the infrared problem in the usual model of QED with non-relativistic matter. We prove spectral and regularity properties characterizing the mass shell of an electron and one-electron infraparticle states of this model. Our results are crucial for the construction of infraparticle scattering states, which are treated in a separate paper.
متن کاملOperator-theoretic renormalization group and aspects of the infrared problem in non-relativistic QED
One of the key difficulties in the study of non-relativistic QED is the appearance of infrared singularities in the computation of many fundamentally important quantities, such as scattering amplitudes (if computed naively), which originate from the fact that the photon has no mass. The link between zero photon mass, and the infrared pathologies can be explained as follows. By Planck’s law, the...
متن کاملElectrons and Photons: Fact not Fiction
The particle Fock space of the matter fields in QED can be constructed using the free creation and annihilation operators. However, these particle operators are not, even at asymptotically large times, the modes of the matter fields that enter the QED Lagrangian. In this letter we construct the fields which do recover such particle modes at large times. We are thus able to demonstrate for the f...
متن کاملOn the Lifetime of Quasi-stationary States in Non-relativistic Qed
We consider resonances in the Pauli-Fierz model of non-relativistic QED. We use and slightly modify the analysis developed by Bach, Fröhlich and Sigal [3, 4] to obtain an upper and lower bound on the lifetime of quasi-stationary states.
متن کاملBloch-nordsieck violating electroweak corrections to inclusive TeV scale hard processes
We point out that, since the colliders' initial states ( e(+)e(-),pp, p&pmacr;,ellipsis) carry a definite non-Abelian flavor, electroweak radiative corrections to inclusive hard cross sections at the TeV scale are affected by peculiar Bloch-Nordsieck violating double logs. We recall the setup of soft cancellation theorems, and we analyze the magnitude of the noncanceling terms in the example of...
