e+e- into gamma gamma

Asked by F.g.

Dear all,
I am computing e+e- -> gamma gamma and looking to the squared amplitude calchep consider only t-channel^2 and u-channel*t-channel... u-channel^2 is not included. there is any way to include it? indeed comparing the differential cross-section from calchep and analytically there is a difference that I blame on that diagram.

Thanks

Dear Federica,

indeed for M^2 CalcHEP provides non-symmetrised analytical expression,

while as you have noticed numerically it takes into account u-channel
diagram.

To get the correct analytical expression and take into account u-channel
diagram, you should use

  sum_22.m file

located in $CALCHEP/utile

folder

see $CALCHEP/utile/README and CalcHEP's manual

Regards,

Alexander

Dear Alexander,

thanks for the answer.

In my analytical computations I included u-channel: I understand the difference asking to "set distribution" the differential cross-section in angle and plotting with my analytical computation. But I need that in Calchep is included, because I have to make MC simulations with all diagrams. Is it possible?

Dear Federica,

as I said, the numerical calculation as well as plots from numerical session

include u-channel -- i.e. CalcHEP produces the correct result in the
numerical session.

So it is already there!

Regards,

Alexander
