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. 410 0$aLecture Notes in Physics,$x0075-8450 ;$v883 606 $aQuantum field theory 606 $aString theory 606 $aElementary particles (Physics) 606 $aPhysics 606 $aQuantum Field Theories, String Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19048 606 $aElementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23029 606 $aMathematical Methods in Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19013 615 0$aQuantum field theory. 615 0$aString theory. 615 0$aElementary particles (Physics). 615 0$aPhysics. 615 14$aQuantum Field Theories, String Theory. 615 24$aElementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory. 615 24$aMathematical Methods in Physics. 676 $a530.14/35 700 $aHenn$b Johannes M$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01017317 702 $aPlefka$b Jan C$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996205174003316 996 $aScattering Amplitudes in Gauge Theories$92385625 997 $aUNISA
