Abstract

The lepton pair production ee+ee+ll+e^- e^+ \to e^- e^+ l^- l^+ or μμ+μμ+ll+\mu^- \mu^+ \to \mu^- \mu^+ l^- l^+ is studied in the dominant cross section region of scattering angles mj/Ej<θj1{m_j}/{E_j} \stackrel{<}{\sim} \theta_j \ll 1 . An analytical expression is found for all 64 helicity amplitudes of these processes. The accuracy of the obtained formulae is given omitting only terms of the order of mj2/Ej2{m_j^2}/{E_j^2}, θj2\theta_j^2 and θjmj/Ej \theta_j {m_j}/{E_j}. The result has a compact form convenient both for analytical and numerical calculations of various cross sections in this dominating scattering regime.
