Physics Asked on February 25, 2021
What is the general method to compute the $2 to 2$ scattering cross section given an arbitrary Lagrangian ? I would like a step by step recipe that can be easily implemented in Mathematica.
For example, I want to input one of these Lagrangians
$mathcal{L} = frac{1}{2}partial_mu phi partial^mu phi – frac{1}{2}m^2 phi^2-frac{g}{4!}phi^4$
$mathcal{L} = frac{1}{2}partial_mu phi partial^mu phi – frac{1}{2}m^2 phi^2-frac{g}{3!}phi^3$
$mathcal{L} = frac{1}{2}partial_mu phi partial^mu phi+ g(partial_mu phi partial^mu phi)^2 $
$mathcal{L} = frac{1}{2}partial_mu phi partial^mu phi + g(partial_mu phi partial^mu phi)phi^2 $
and have outputted the $2 to 2$ cross section to the first non trivial order in $g$.
I think I understand how to compute the cross section for the two first lagrangians:
but it seems like this method would only work for a lagrangian of the form $mathcal{L} = frac{1}{2}partial_mu phi partial^mu phi – frac{1}{2}m^2 phi^2-frac{g}{n!}phi^n$.
Hence, the 2 remaining questions are: How to deal with the two last lagrangians ? How to automatically enumerate the Feynman diagrams ?
