How to Succeed at Understanding Quantum Field Theory

Quantum Field Theory Physics explained from a mass quantum collision theory and quantized photon collision theory perspective. Introduces the concept of discontinuous, discreet, free-state and bound-state quantum mass and photon quantum perspectives as applied to Quantum Field Theory continuous group theory mathematics. Provides a brief introduction to Quantum Field Theory wave packet, gauge, group and tensor mathematics from a discreet, discontinuous, quantized collision theory mathematics perspective and implications to the Standard Model. Note: This book is an incomplete and evolving research manuscript which will correct syntax and errors in logic as they are discovered or validated by experiment in future theoretical investigations. Version 5.0 adds a discussion for why we need to extend Quantum Field Theory and proposes a mass quantum particle collision solution explaining contradictory experimental evidence why an accelerated electron radiates photon energy in a photon field but does not radiate photon energy in an accelerated gravitational field. Version 4.0 includes cosmology expansion equations for understanding particle freeze-out timelines and a more detailed description of QED U(1) derivations (excluding re-normalization details) and minor corrections to QCD SU(3) formulations. Version 3.0 includes a description of a quantized Gauss's Law relation to Super-String/Loop theory and equivalent representation by Planck scale and below collision theory as an action proportional to surface area. Version 2.0 includes minor spelling and syntax corrections and inclusion of a glossary. Version 5.0 provides more rigorous mathematics as quantum field derivations and gravity derivations are explored in the companion books, "How to Succeed at Understanding Quantum Gravity" and "How to Succeed at Understanding Newtonian Physics" M. Hatcher. There is very little difference between version 5.0 and version 6.0 with the exception of a correction to Planck scale magnetic field descriptions and a small page addition more clearly describing the interactions between photon quantum and mass quantum using the mechanism of gravity to describe bound states of these particles. This book is a more rigorous companion book to "How to Succeed at Understanding the Universe" and "How to Succeed at Understanding Physics; Alternative Physics".
