Renormalization Schemes
In actual calculations, the counterterms introduced to cancel the divergences in Feynman diagram calculations beyond tree level must be fixed using a set of renormalization conditions. The common renormalization schemes in use include:
- Minimal subtraction (MS) scheme and the related modified minimal subtraction (MS-bar) scheme
- On-shell scheme

Famous quotes containing the word schemes:
“Science is a dynamic undertaking directed to lowering the degree of the empiricism involved in solving problems; or, if you prefer, science is a process of fabricating a web of interconnected concepts and conceptual schemes arising from experiments and observations and fruitful of further experiments and observations.”
—James Conant (1893–1978)
