This lecture discusses the Lorentz invariant formulation of cross sections in particle physics, focusing on decay rates and scattering processes. It covers the derivation of differential cross sections in different frames, the Lorentz Invariant Matrix Element, and the normalization of wave-functions. The lecture also touches upon the Fermi's Golden Rule and the Particle Data Group's role in providing essential information for particle physics research.
