On shell renormalization scheme : ウィキペディア英語版
On shell renormalization scheme
In quantum field theory, and especially in quantum electrodynamics, the interacting theory leads to infinite quantities that have to be absorbed in a renormalization procedure, in order to be able to predict measurable quantities. The renormalization scheme can depend on the type of particles that are being considered. For particles that can travel asymptotically large distances, or for low energy processes, the on-shell scheme, also known as the physical scheme, is appropriate. If these conditions are not fulfilled, one can turn to other schemes, like the Minimal subtraction scheme.
==Fermion propagator in the interacting theory==

Knowing the different propagators is the basis for being able to calculate Feynman diagrams which are useful tools to predict, for example, the result of scattering experiments. In a theory where the only field is the Dirac field, the Feynman propagator reads
: \langle 0 | T(\psi(x)\bar(0))| 0 \rangle =iS_F(x) = \int \frac\frac
where T is the time-ordering operator, |0\rangle the vacuum in the non interacting theory, \psi(x) and \bar(x) the Dirac field and its Dirac adjoint, and where the left-hand side of the equation is the two-point correlation function of the Dirac field.
In a new theory, the Dirac field can interact with another field, for example with the electromagnetic field in quantum electrodynamics, and the strength of the interaction is measured by a parameter, in the case of QED it is the bare electron charge, e. The general form of the propagator should remain unchanged, meaning that if |\Omega\rangle now represents the vacuum in the interacting theory, the two-point correlation function would now read
: \langle \Omega | T(\psi(x)\bar(0))| \Omega \rangle = \int \frac\frac
Two new quantities have been introduced. First the renormalized mass m_r has been defined as the pole in the Fourier transform of the Feynman propagator. This is the main prescription of the on-shell renormalization scheme (there is then no need to introduce other mass scales like in the minimal subtraction scheme). The quantity Z_2 represents the new strength of the Dirac field. As the interaction is turned down to zero by letting e\rightarrow 0, these new parameters should tend to a value so as to recover the propagator of the free fermion, namely m_r\rightarrow m and Z_2\rightarrow 1.
This means that m_r and Z_2 can be defined as a series in e if this parameter is small enough (in the unit system where \hbar=c=1, e=\sqrt\simeq 0.3, where \alpha is the fine-structure constant). Thus these parameters can be expressed as
:Z_2=1+\delta_2
:m_r = m + \delta m
On the other hand, the modification to the propagator can be calculated up to a certain order in e using Feynman diagrams. These modifications are summed up in the fermion self energy \Sigma(p)
: \langle \Omega | T(\psi(x)\bar(0))| \Omega \rangle = \int \frac\frac
These corrections are often divergent because they contain loops.
By identifying the two expressions of the correlation function up to a certain order in e, the counterterms can be defined, and they are going to absorb the divergent contributions of the corrections to the fermion propagator. Thus, the renormalized quantities, such as m_r, will remain finite, and will be the quantities measured in experiments.
