Quantum Electrodynamics and the Fundamental Constants
Published
Author(s)
Peter J. Mohr, Barry N. Taylor
Abstract
The fundamental constants are evaluated by comparison of the results of critical experiments and the theoretical expressions of these results written in terms of the constants. Many of the theoretical expressions are based on quantum electrodynamics (QED), so the consistency of the comparison provides a critical test of the validity of the theory.
