SUMMARY

The forum discussion focuses on generating the amplitude for the muon decay process ## \mu \to e \gamma ## using FeynArts. The user attempts to create topologies and insert fields but encounters an issue where the amplitude is not generated. A response clarifies that the Standard Model (SM) does not support this vertex due to lepton flavor conservation, suggesting that the user must modify the model file in FeynArts to achieve the desired result.

PREREQUISITES
  • FeynArts 3.10 or later for amplitude generation
  • Understanding of particle physics, specifically lepton decay processes
  • Familiarity with the Standard Model and its limitations
  • Basic knowledge of model file modifications in FeynArts
NEXT STEPS
  • Modify the FeynArts model file to include non-conservation vertices
  • Explore FeynArts documentation for advanced topology creation
  • Research lepton flavor violation processes in theoretical physics
  • Learn about alternative models that allow for lepton flavor violation
USEFUL FOR

Particle physicists, researchers in theoretical physics, and anyone working with FeynArts for amplitude calculations in lepton decay processes.

Hi all,

Does anybody work with FeynArts? I try to generate the amplitude of ## \mu \to e \gamma ## process by :

tops = CreateTopologies[1, 1 -> 2]
ins = InsertFields[tops, F[2, {2}] -> {F[2, {1}], V[1]}]

But when I type:
Paint[ins]

it returns

out[] FeynArtsGraphics[{"\\mu"} -> {"e", "\\gamma"}][]

and doesn't generate the amplitude .. what should I add ?

Regards,
S.
 
what model did you use? SM? in the SM, there is no this kind of vertex because of lepton flavor conservation.
If you want to generate it, at first, u should modify the model file in FeynArts
