relative minus sign??

Hi, I have one question for you...
to compute the matrix element for the process u d -> u d I want to use full SM, but I have one problem I'll give you the maths.


process with W:
<ud|(\bar{Ψ}u Ψd)(\bar{Ψ}dΨu)|ud>
process with γ:
<ud|(\bar{Ψ}u Ψu)(\bar{Ψ}dΨd)|ud>
Z and g are the same with γ (i don't write the propagators and the Lorentz parts for simplicity).
Is there a minus sign between W and the others??
I say yes ... but i am not sure.

I just posted this for another post... I SAY YES also.
here's the information I found that explains why there is a minus sign.

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}...
