Weyl–van-der-Waerden formalism for helicity amplitudes of massive particles
The Weyl–van-der-Waerden spinor technique for calculating helicity amplitudes of massive and massless particles is presented in a form that is particularly well suited to a direct implementation in computer algebra. Moreover, we explain how to exploit discrete symmetries and how to avoid unphysical poles in amplitudes in practice. The efficiency of the formalism is demonstrated by giving explic...
متن کاملHelicity Amplitudes for Single-Top Production
Single top quark production at hadron colliders allows a direct measurement of the top quark charged current coupling. We present the complete tree-level helicity amplitudes for four processes involving the production and semileptonic decay of a single top quark: W -gluon fusion, flavor excitation, s-channel production and W associated production. For the first three processes we study the qual...
متن کاملA Covariant Method for Calculating Helicity Amplitudes
We present an alternative approach for calculating helicity amplitudes for processes involving both massless and massive fermions. With this method one can easily obtain covariant expressions for the helicity amplitudes. The final expressions involve only four vector products and are independent of the basis for gamma matrices or specific form of the spinors. We use the method to obtain the hel...
متن کاملReal next-to-leading corrections to the multigluon amplitudes in the helicity formalism.
Using the helicity formalism, we compute the corrections to the tree-level multigluon amplitudes in the high-energy limit, induced by the corrections to the multi-Regge kinematics, and we show that they coincide with the corresponding Fadin-Lipatov amplitudes at fixed helicities.

متن کاملIntroduction to Scattering Amplitudes Lecture 1: QCD and the Spinor-Helicity Formalism
Scattering amplitudes take surprisingly simple forms in theories such as quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and general relativity. This simplicity indicates deep symmetry. Recently, it has become possible to explain some of this symmetry. I will describe these insights and show how to derive amplitudes efficiently and elegantly. Key new ideas involve using complexified momentum, exploring singular b...
