SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on the availability of matrix elements for elementary processes in particle physics, specifically referencing the processes involving fermions and gauge bosons. Key examples include the matrix elements for the processes ##f\bar{f}\to\gamma\to f^\prime\bar{f}^\prime## and ##f\bar{f}\to Z^0\to f^\prime\bar{f}^\prime##. The discussion also mentions a standard model review that provides several matrix elements but lacks the first two requested. The reference provided is from an arXiv paper (http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/9507456).
