Hi, I am a newcomer, and i have a question about an integral shown as follows,

\int d^{3}p_{2} \frac{1}{2E_{2}} d^{3}p_{3} \frac{1}{2E_{3}} \delta^{4}(p-p_{2}-p_{3}) p_{3}^{\alpha} p_{3}^{\beta} p_{2}^{\mu}

Is this integral equal to (just considering Lorentz structures)

A(p^{2})g^{\alpha\beta}p^{\mu}+B(p^{2})g^{\beta\mu}p^{\alpha}+B(p^{2})g^{\mu\alpha}p^{\beta}

where the coefficients of the last two terms should be the same because of the symmetry of the integral variables p_{3}^{\alpha} p_{3}^{\beta}

Thank u for ur help!

It's been a while since I did such HEP integrals, so I can't give you an answer off the top of my head. But I want to give you a tip, since you have posted the formulas in valid LaTeX code anyway: if you wrap them in tex-tags (put [ tex] at the beginning and [/ tex] at the end, and take out the spaces in both :)) they will be nicely rendered by LaTeX. For inline (i.e. $ ... $) you can replace tex by itex in both tags. That will make your post a lot more readable, probably giving you faster responses as well.

Quote my message to see the codes used:
\int d^{3}p_{2} \frac{1}{2E_{2}} d^{3}p_{3} \frac{1}{2E_{3}} \delta^{4}(p-p_{2}-p_{3}) p_{3}^{\alpha} p_{3}^{\beta} p_{2}^{\mu}
[...] integral variables p_{3}^{\alpha} p_{3}^{\beta}.

Well, I'm simulating a neutron-proton scattering phase shift. The equation that I solve numerically is the Phase function method and is $$ \frac{d}{dr}[\delta_{i+1}] = \frac{2\mu}{\hbar^2}\frac{V(r)}{k^2}\sin(kr + \delta_i)$$ ##\delta_i## is the phase shift for triplet and singlet state, ##\mu## is the reduced mass for neutron-proton, ##k=\sqrt{2\mu E_{cm}/\hbar^2}## is the wave number and ##V(r)## is the potential of interaction like Yukawa, Wood-Saxon, Square well potential, etc. I first...
Toponium is a hadron which is the bound state of a valance top quark and a valance antitop quark. Oversimplified presentations often state that top quarks don't form hadrons, because they decay to bottom quarks extremely rapidly after they are created, leaving no time to form a hadron. And, the vast majority of the time, this is true. But, the lifetime of a top quark is only an average lifetime. Sometimes it decays faster and sometimes it decays slower. In the highly improbable case that...
I'm following this paper by Kitaev on SL(2,R) representations and I'm having a problem in the normalization of the continuous eigenfunctions (eqs. (67)-(70)), which satisfy \langle f_s | f_{s'} \rangle = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{2}{(1-u)^2} f_s(u)^* f_{s'}(u) \, du. \tag{67} The singular contribution of the integral arises at the endpoint u=1 of the integral, and in the limit u \to 1, the function f_s(u) takes on the form f_s(u) \approx a_s (1-u)^{1/2 + i s} + a_s^* (1-u)^{1/2 - i s}. \tag{70}...
