Abstract
In the framework of this Course on the Gauge Interaction, it is appropriate that we take a close look at the quantum of that basic gauge field which we believe to have a solid grip on, at the photon. The carrier of the electromagnetic field has, of course, been shown to be precisely described by Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) in its interactions with point-like leptons. The question of interest here is this: what have we gleaned from the manifestations of the photon in kinematical regimes where its coupling to heavier particles becomes intimately entangled with observables?

We will use the customary convention Q2 = -q2, where q is the photon momentum four-vector.
