Spectrum, Scattering Amplitudes, and String Field Theory of 4 Dimensional Twistor String

High Energy Physics - Theory 2021-04-14 v2

Abstract

The recently introduced anomaly-free twistor string in 4 dimensions is further explored. The spectrum based on the physical states and its Minkowski interpretation are examined. Scattering amplitudes with vertex operators involving gravitons and fermions are computed and are compared with Einstein-Yang-Mills amplitudes. Tree and one-loop scattering amplitudes are shown to have proper unitary factorization properties. Finally a string field theory is proposed.
