Abstract
We present exact tree-order amplitudes for , for final states containing one or two particles with non-zero three-momentum, for various interaction potentials. We show that there are potentials leading to tree amplitudes that satisfy unitarity, not only at threshold but also in the above kinematical configurations and probably beyond. As a by-product, we also calculate tree amplitudes at threshold and show that for the unbroken theory they vanish for , for the Standard Model Higgs they vanish for and for a model potential, respecting tree-order unitarity, for even and . Finally, we calculate the imaginary part of the one-loop amplitude in both symmetric and spontaneously broken theory.
