Homework Statement
I am interested in calculating the cross section for the decay of gauge bosons from a scalar field (1 -> 2 process). This is not my homework problem; I simply want to learn this on my own. I have calculated the Feynman amplitude, and I would greatly appreciate it if you could review it to confirm whether I'm on the right track. If there are any mistakes in my approach, kindly point them out to me. Thank you for your help.

The cross section for the decay of gauge bosons from a scalar field is a fundamental quantity in particle physics that describes the probability of a specific interaction occurring between a scalar field and gauge bosons. This cross section is an important tool for understanding the dynamics of the interaction and can provide insights into the underlying fundamental forces at play.

The decay of gauge bosons from a scalar field is a key process in the Standard Model of particle physics, which describes the fundamental particles and their interactions. In this model, the scalar field is responsible for giving mass to particles through the Higgs mechanism, while the gauge bosons mediate the fundamental forces of nature.

The cross section for this decay process is dependent on several factors, including the energy of the particles involved, the coupling strength between the scalar field and gauge bosons, and the mass of the particles. As these factors change, the cross section will also vary, providing valuable information about the nature of the interaction.

Studying the cross section for the decay of gauge bosons from a scalar field is crucial for understanding the properties of the Higgs boson, the fundamental particle associated with the scalar field. By measuring the cross section, scientists can determine the mass and coupling strength of the Higgs boson, which are important parameters in the Standard Model.

Furthermore, the cross section can also provide evidence for new physics beyond the Standard Model. If the measured cross section deviates from the predicted value, it could indicate the presence of new particles or interactions that are not accounted for in the current model.

In summary, the cross section for the decay of gauge bosons from a scalar field is a vital quantity in particle physics that can shed light on the fundamental forces and particles of the universe. Its precise measurement and analysis are crucial for advancing our understanding of the building blocks of matter.

Hello everyone, I’m considering a point charge q that oscillates harmonically about the origin along the z-axis, e.g. $$z_{q}(t)= A\sin(wt)$$ In a strongly simplified / quasi-instantaneous approximation I ignore retardation and take the electric field at the position ##r=(x,y,z)## simply to be the “Coulomb field at the charge’s instantaneous position”: $$E(r,t)=\frac{q}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}}\frac{r-r_{q}(t)}{||r-r_{q}(t)||^{3}}$$ with $$r_{q}(t)=(0,0,z_{q}(t))$$ (I’m aware this isn’t...
It's given a gas of particles all identical which has T fixed and spin S. Let's ##g(\epsilon)## the density of orbital states and ##g(\epsilon) = g_0## for ##\forall \epsilon \in [\epsilon_0, \epsilon_1]##, zero otherwise. How to compute the number of accessible quantum states of one particle? This is my attempt, and I suspect that is not good. Let S=0 and then bosons in a system. Simply, if we have the density of orbitals we have to integrate ##g(\epsilon)## and we have...
