negative cross-section for chiral interaction
Asked by
samwell187
Hi,
I have a FCNC-type Lagrangian of the form
X Gmu ( a + b G5 ) y v + Y Gmu ( c + d G5 ) x V
where capital letters denote antiparticles, Gmu is the Dirac gamma matrix, G5 is gamma5, x and y are fermions, and v is a (complex) vector (so it carries an index like v_mu or V_mu).
I am interested in the process v V -> y Y -- so the vector is annihilating
If I set a = c, b = d (which is required to make this Lagrangian hermitian) and make neither of these vanish, then I get a negative cross-section. On the other hand, if I set any of the following :: b = d = 0, a = c = 0, a = - c, b = -d :: then I get a positive cross-section.
Any idea why this might be?
Thanks,
Sam
