How to Renormalize the Schrodinger Equation

Nuclear Theory 2007-05-23 v1 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

These lectures illustrate the key ideas of modern renormalization theory and effective field theories in the context of simple nonrelativistic quantum mechanics and the Schr\"odinger equation. They also discuss problems in QED, QCD and nuclear physics for which rigorous potential models can be derived using renormalization techniques. They end with an analysis of nucleon-nucleon scattering based effective theory.
