Homework Statement
Find the matrix and cross section of neutralino fermion to neutralino fermion scattering process
Relevant Equations
\xi f -> \xi f
The attempt at a solution follows as an attachment. If you are only interested in the solution without the derivation, look at page 1 and page 9.

Welcome to the PF. :smile:

Unfortunately, your hand-written, scanned work is not very readable. What class is this for, and which year in university?
 
BTW, there is a link to the PF LaTeX tutorial at the lower left corner of the Reply/Edit window at the bottom of your thread. It's a pretty easy tutorial to get you going typing math equations using LaTeX. :smile:
 
Thanks. But there is no way I can fit the 9 pages on this forum. However, I can write down the matrix and cross section found. The course is quantum field theory.

$$ M = -((g_Z^2)/(q^2 - m^2) g_/uv) [\bar{u}(p3)\gamma^u \frac{1}{2} (C_V^X - C_A^X \gamma^5) u(p1)] [\bar{u}(p4)\gamma^v \frac{1}{2}(C_V^f - C_A^f \gamma^5)u(p2)]$$
 
$$ \sigma = \frac{1}{192\pi} \frac{-g_Z^4}{(s-m_Z^2)^2 + m_Z^2 \Gamma^2)} ((C_V^X)^2 + (C_A^X)^2 + (C_V^f)^2 + (C_A^f)^2) $$
 
Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
