Notes

These are some notes I've written up for myself that people might find useful.

QCD

• 2-2 and 2-3 eikonal scattering in pQCD
• LO jet production in pQCD

Field Theory

• Traces of Gamma Matrices, and, in particular, an explicit formula for the trace of 6 gamma matrices

Math

• Universal Trig Substitution: convert any integral of a rational function of trig functions into an (analytically solvable) integral of a rational function of polynomials
• Integration of periodic functions: in particular why the "align the z axis with the direction of a vector" trick works, and when it breaks down
• Active vs. Passive Transformations of scalar and vector fields
• Some delta function representations

Other

• Orthonormal Functions and Separation of Variables: some notes I wrote up when I substitute-lectured a graduate E&M class at Ohio State University
