Hey,

I was wandering if anyone knew if the Feynman diagrams could be created in Latex or in threads like this?

If not then maybe it would be an interesting development avenue...
 
Physics news on Phys.org
try this site:
http://hep-www.colorado.edu/~nlc/software/feyntex_ruddick.html

it should help.
Cheers,

thanks - how are you supposed to use these - are they latex only, I tried to make them on one of these pages and nothing came up...
 
Run it though your personal version of latex -- what you have on this site is only a small part of latex's mathmode. if you wish to include latex diagrams you can use dvipng.exe in your own latex package and attach the image.
 
alright - good to know, thanks!
