Ee to e+e+ Scattering: Exploring Lepton Interactions in Particle Physics

In summary, the student is looking for information on a scattering process that he has come across. He does not know the name of the scattering, but does know that it is related to bhabha scattering. He also states that he is a beginner in the field of particle physics and does not know many things.

ee --->e+e+ scattering

Homework Statement


I have come across the following scattering : e-e- ---->e+e+

Does anyone know the name of this scattering ?
Do you know of any book describing simililar lepton scatterings?

Thank you

can you see charge conservation here?
 
  • #3


No charge conservation
Do you think this might be a typo?
I will completely honest with you ,

this is a question from a homework :(look the attachement)

if there is a typo then should the process e-e+ --- > e-e+ be considered an exotic scattering?

oh no,from which book you have gotten that?
e-e+ --- > e-e+,this specially is related to bhabha scattering.this does hold.By the way,what is exotic here?

From my minimal knowledge on Feynaman rules i know that a feynman diagram has to conserve charge along a vertex.

If it is the e-e+ --- > e-e+ process shouldn't the question also clarify if it is spinless or not andrien ?

what do you mean by spinless.electron and positron can have it's spin along a certain chosen z axis in the same direction which is in fact a requirement of bhabha scattering!

well, i have just entered the field of particle physics ,and i don't know many things.

Thanks for the replies

what was the name of book

The image i uploaded as i said , was taken from a homework assighnement.I don't know where he found it ,maybe a book came from an alternative universe through a wormhole,where the charge conservation law doesn't hold ,and so my teacher thought it was from our own universe.
