Calculating two- and three-body decays with FeynArts and FormCalc
Abstract
The Feynman diagram generator FeynArts and the computer algebra program FormCalc allow for an automatic computation of 2->2 and 2->3 scattering processes in High Energy Physics. We have extended this package by four new kinematical routines and adapted one existing routine in order to accomodate also two- and three-body decays of massive particles. This makes it possible to compute automatically two- and three-body particle decay widths and decay energy distributions as well as resonant particle production within the Standard Model and the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model at the tree- and loop-level. The use of the program is illustrated with three standard examples: h->b\bar{b}, \mu->e\bar{\nu}_e\nu_\mu, and Z->\nu_e\bar{\nu}_e.
