Abstract

Starting from the Mandelstam-Leibbrandt prescription, we introduce a general rule for the null vector nˉ\bar{n} to compute any SIM(2)SIM(2) integral and diagram with an arbitrary number of external legs. Using the new prescription, the computation of the low energy limit of photon-photon scattering under the Very Special Relativity (VSR) framework is presented. The prescription preserves automatically the Ward identities corresponding to the gauge symmetry. Within the low momentum approximation we get the standard unpolarized differential cross section for photon-photon scattering. The result suggests that loops with any external photon legs on-shell will be zero in VSR.
