SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on utilizing the FeynCalc package within Mathematica for verifying cross-section computations in particle physics. Users are directed to several resources, including a tutorial at Penn State and a guide hosted by Indiana University, which, although older, provides valuable insights. The necessity of a PostScript viewer like Ghostview for certain materials is also highlighted. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of these resources for effective use of FeynCalc.

PREREQUISITES
  • FeynCalc package for Mathematica
  • Basic understanding of cross-section computations in particle physics
  • Familiarity with Mathematica software
  • Ghostview for viewing PostScript files
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the FeynCalc documentation available at http://www.phys.psu.edu/~cteq/misc/Feyn/
  • Review the guide on FeynCalc hosted at physics.indiana.edu
  • Learn how to install and use Ghostview for PostScript file viewing
  • Investigate additional Mathematica packages that complement FeynCalc
USEFUL FOR

Researchers in particle physics, physicists verifying computational results, and students learning to use FeynCalc within Mathematica.
