Employing the little group symmetry within the spinor-helicity formalism to constrain scattering amplitudes

This thesis aims to describe the little group scaling and how it simplifies the calculation of scattering amplitudes. The little group has the defining property that it leaves a particular four-momentum invariant, which is used to describe how the internal structure of a particle is transformed under the little group. An important part in the study of little group scaling is the spinor-helicity fo

20 år av ekologisk kompensation – hur gick det sen? Utvärdering av kompensationsåtgärder i Lomma kommun
