Scattering Conventions and Connections
These entries help translate amplitudes and S-matrix conventions and identify which part of a calculation is quantum mechanics. They link to the full derivations rather than supplying a competing explanation. Relativistic quantum field theory adds a different state space and dynamical framework; the connection is useful only when those additional assumptions are explicit.
Helpful background. Return to the operator chapter when a convention change affects flux factors or transition amplitudes.
