The quantitative implications of these interactions are captured by scattering amplitudes, traditionally computed using Feynman diagrams. In the past decade tremendous progress has been made in our understanding of and computational abilities with regard to scattering amplitudes in gauge theories, going beyond the traditional textbook approach. These advances build upon on-shell methods that focus on the analytic structure of the amplitudes, as well as on their recently discovered hidden symmetries. In fact, when expressed in suitable variables the amplitudes are much simpler than anticipated and hidden patterns emerge.   These modern methods are of increasing importance in phenomenological applications arising from the need for high-precision predictions for the experiments carried out at the Large Hadron Collider, as well as in foundational mathematical physics studies on the S-matrix in quantum field theory.   Bridging the gap between introductory courses on quantum field theory and state-of-the-art research, these concise yet self-contained and course-tested lecture notes are well-suited for a one-semester graduate level course or as a self-study guide for anyone interested in fundamental aspects of quantum field theory and its applications. The numerous exercises and solutions included will help readers to embrace and apply the material presented in the main text.Lecture Notes in Physics,0075-8450 ;883Quantum field theoryString theoryElementary particles (Physics)PhysicsQuantum Field Theories, String Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19048Elementary Particles, Quantum Field Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23029Mathematical Methods in Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19013Quantum field theory.String theory.Elementary particles (Physics).Physics.Quantum Field Theories, String Theory.Elementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory.Mathematical Methods in Physics.530.14/35Henn Johannes Mauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1017317Plefka Jan Cauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996205174003316Scattering Amplitudes in Gauge Theories2385625UNISA
