Research Problem -- 4-body Decay

Hello,
I am trying to model a four body decay for a PDF I am creating, but I am having some trouble coming up with the "particle mass dependency" part of the equation - see http://pdg.lbl.gov/2009/reviews/rpp2009-rev-kinematics.pdf page 3 under 'two body decays' for an idea of what I am talking about - equation 38.16. If you look on page four, equation (38.20a) and ((38.20b)) this gives the mass dependency part of the equation (multiply them together) for three body decays, and I was hoping someone with a bit of a theoretical background could help me work through a four body integral.

Thanks!

Craig

I actually found such paper yesterday, I can send it to you if you send me your personal e-mail as a personal message to me. Dont post it here in the public forum!
 
Not an expert in QM. AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is quite different from the classical wave equation. The former is an equation for the dynamics of the state of a (quantum?) system, the latter is an equation for the dynamics of a (classical) degree of freedom. As a matter of fact, Schrödinger's equation is first order in time derivatives, while the classical wave equation is second order. But, AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is a wave equation; only its interpretation makes it non-classical...

Is it possible, and fruitful, to use certain conceptual and technical tools from effective field theory (coarse-graining/integrating-out, power-counting, matching, RG) to think about the relationship between the fundamental (quantum) and the emergent (classical), both to account for the quasi-autonomy of the classical level and to quantify residual quantum corrections? By “emergent,” I mean the following: after integrating out fast/irrelevant quantum degrees of freedom (high-energy modes...
