Detailed Description

Helicity matrix element for the hard process of two fermions -> photon/Z/Z' -> two fermions.

Member Function Documentation

Helicity matrix element for two fermions -> photon/Z/Z' -> two fermions.

Note that there is a double contraction in the Z matrix element, which can be very time consuming. If the two incoming fermions are oriented along the z-axis, their helicities must be opposite for a non-zero matrix element term. Consequently, this check is made to help speed up the matrix element. p0Q: charge of the incoming fermion line p2Q: charge of the outgoing fermion line s: center of mass energy sin2W: sine of the Weinberg angle cos2W: cosine of the Weinberg angle zM: on-shell mass of the Z zG: on-shell width of the Z p0CA: axial coupling of particle 0 to the Z p2CA: axial coupling of particle 2 to the Z p0CV: vector coupling of particle 0 to the Z p2CV: vector coupling of particle 2 to the Z zaxis: true if the incoming fermions are oriented along the z-axis Initialize the constants for the helicity matrix element.
