Calculation of processes involving many particles at the kinematical threshold

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

A diagrammatic technique is derived for calculating processes involving the production of large numbers of particles. As an example, the amplitude of three particles scattering into nn particles at the kinematical threshold in λϕ4\lambda\phi^4 theory is calculated. From the 3n3 \to n amplitude, it is seen that the one-loop amplitude for 2n2 \to n processes is suppressed by a factor of 1/n1/n.
