quantum field theory - Haag's theorem and practical QFT computations


There exists this famous Haag's theorem which basically states that the interaction picture in QFT cannot exist. Yet, everyone uses it to calculate almost everything in QFT and it works beautifully.




  1. Why? More specifically to particle physics: In which limit does the LSZ formula work?




  2. Can someone give me an example of a QFT calculation (of something measurable in current experiments, something really practical!) in which the interaction picture fails miserably due to Haag's theorem?

Understanding Stagnation point in pitot fluid

What is stagnation point in fluid mechanics. At the open end of the pitot tube the velocity of the fluid becomes zero.But that should result...
