Hi, this is probably very simple but what is the difference between these two Feynman propagators:

[tex]\frac{i}{q^2-m^2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{i(p/+m)}{p^2-m^2}[/tex]

E.g. Is one used for the invariant amplitude and the other for loop integrals? Or is one for a fermion and the other for a boson? =s

Thanks!
