In this second volume of the series, we build an alternative version of quantum electrodynamics, which we call relativistic quantum dynamics (RQD). The key idea of RQD is to reinterpret quantum field theory in the language of physical "dressed" particles. We also modify formulas of special relativity by taking into account the boost dependence of interactions. By doing so, we arrive at a theory where charged particles interact via instantaneous action-at-a-distance forces, there is no need for renormalization, and the Minkowski space-time unification is an approximate concept. This theory describes electromagnetic phenomena, such as the Lamb shift and the Aharonov-Bohm effect, in terms of directly interacting charges, but in full accord with fundamental principles of relativity and causality. RQD finds its strongest experimental support in the recently discovered superluminal propagation of the Coulomb field associated with relativistic electron bunches.

Current particle theory, the Standard Model, is faced with very deep problems: quarks, electrons, positrinos and bosons have no physical size and no discrete mass-energy and yet are said to have...
This textbook is mainly for physics students at the advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate levels, especially those with a theoretical inclination. Its chief purpose is to give a systematic...
If a heavy particle ion (atom, molecule, muon) collides with another in the gas phase at speeds approaching the speed of light, the time-dependent Dirac equation equation must be used for its ...
Over the past five de-::ades researchers have sought to develop a new framework that would resolve the anomalies attributable to a patchwork formulation of relativistic quantum mechanics. This book...
Complete, systematic, and self-contained, this text introduces modern quantum field theory. "Combines thorough knowledge with a high degree of didactic ability and a delightful style." - Mathematical...
