2-body scattering and Mandelstam Variables
Homework Statement In a 2-body scattering event, A + B → C + D, it is convenient to introduce the Mandelstam variables, s ≡ −(PA + PB)2 , t ≡ −(PA − PC) 2 , u ≡ −(PA − PD) 2 , where PA,...,D are the 4-momenta of the particles A, . . . , D respectively, (· · ·) 2 = (· · ·) · (· · ·) denotes a...- Pizza Pasta physics
