Can someone refer me to Feynman rules for electroweak interactions in the general case of SU(2) multiplets of weak isospin n and weak hypercharge Y interacting with EW gauge bosons?
I can only find the standard rules for SU(2) doublet electron - neutrino.
Thanks!
The interaction term in the standard model Lagrangian is
Lγμ(i∂μ - g/2 τ·Wμ - g'/2 Y Bμ)L + Rγμ(i∂μ - g'/2 Y Bμ)R
where L and R are left- and right-handed fermions and τ are the three Pauli matrices. So all you would have to do for an isospin n fermion is to replace τ by the three SU(2) matrices for isospin n, which are given by
τ±|n m> = √(n∓m)(n±m+1) |n m±1>
τ3|n m> = m |n m>
