Hey folks,

you don't happen to know where i can find a list of all possible Feynman diagrams contributing to a 5-gluon-amplitude?

I am currently working on a comparison of beyond-feynman-graphs-techniques (colour-ordering, BCF, CSW, MHV,...) and old-school calculations using Feynman rules. My specific example is for tree-level 5-gluon scattering but i can't find a list of of possible Feynman diagrams...

Do you have an idea?

Regards,
earth2

Hmmm, I think you may need to be more specific. If you allow loops, then there are an infinite number of contributing diagrams. Perhaps your question is slightly different from this?
 
Hey,

i mean only tree-level diagrams i.e. no loops.

in the QCD lagrangian u only have 3 and 4 gluon vertex

Yes, no one doubts that. But that does not mean that there aren't several ways to connect five gluons via propagators, does it? Never you mind, i solved the problem differently. Thanks.
 
Hi earth2,

Sorry, I spoke with some people but couldn't find a place where the diagrams were listed online. Did you find a good source? I think it's not too hard to just draw them all, but there are quite a few.
 
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}...
