Draw Simple Feynman Diagrams w/ Latex, Feynmf & TeXnicCentre

[Perturbation]

Could anyone direct me to a coherent tutorial for drawing simple Feynman diagrams in Latex (I use TeXnicCentre) using the Feynmf package? The only ones I've found are rather complicated, given that I don't have a huge deal of experience with the writing of lengthy 'tex.

Cheers, guys.

The manual to Feynmf is available at CHAN and most likely also in your latex distribution. A tutorial is available at http://hep-www.colorado.edu/~nlc/software/feyntex_ruddick.html

Hi there,

Drawing Feynman diagrams in LaTeX can be a bit tricky, but with the help of the Feynmf package, it can become much easier. Here are some steps to get you started:

1. First, make sure you have the Feynmf package installed on your computer. You can download it from http://www.ctan.org/pkg/feynmf. Once it's downloaded, follow the instructions to install it.

2. Next, open your TeXnicCentre document and add the following code to your preamble:

\usepackage{feynmf}

3. Now you are ready to start creating your Feynman diagrams. Here's a simple example to get you started:

\begin{fmffile}{mydiagram}

\begin{fmfgraph*}(50,50)

\fmfleft{i1,i2} \fmfright{o1,o2}

\fmf{fermion}{i1,v1,o1}

\fmf{fermion}{i2,v2,o2}

\fmf{photon,label=$\gamma$}{v1,v2}

\end{fmfgraph*}

\end{fmffile}

4. Save the document and compile it using LaTeX. You should see your Feynman diagram appear in your document.

5. To add labels or change the style of your diagram, you can refer to the Feynmf package documentation for more details.

As for a comprehensive tutorial, here are a few resources that might be helpful:

- The Feynmf package documentation: http://www.ctan.org/pkg/feynmf
- A tutorial on drawing Feynman diagrams with Feynmf: http://www.physics.ohio-state.edu/~ntg/780/feynmf.html
- A YouTube video tutorial on Feynmf:

I hope this helps get you started with drawing Feynman diagrams in LaTeX. Best of luck!
