introduction
  • amplitude = sum of integrals = \(\sum_{n\text{ loops}}\) sum of integrals
  • anomalous electron magnetic dipole moment 1.00115965219
  • theoretical computation matches 11 digits with experiments
  • as n grows, number of Feynman diagrams grows exponentially
  • integrals are becoming difficult

 

 

classical magnetic moment

 

 

anamalous electron magnetic dipole moment
  • In Dirac’s theory a point like spin 1/2 object of electric charge q and mass m has a magnetic moment\[\mathbf{\mu}=q\mathbf{S}/m\]
  • classical vs quantum

  • The g factor sets the strength of an electron’s interaction with a magnetic field.
  • In classical physics (left) magnetic lines of force (perpendicular to the page) induce a curvature in the electron’s path.
  • In quantum electrodynamics (right) the electron interacts with the field by emitting or absorbing a photon.
  • The event is represented in a Feynman diagram, where space extends along the horizontal axis and time moves up the vertical axis.
  • \(g=2(1+c_1\frac{\alpha}{2\pi}+c_2(\frac{\alpha}{2\pi})^2+c_3(\frac{\alpha}{2\pi})^3+\cdots)\)
