Spinor techniques for massive fermions with arbitrary polarization

Abstract

We present a new variant of the spinor techniques for calculating the amplitudes of processes involving massive fermions with arbitrary polarization. It is relatively simple and leads to basic spinor products. Our procedure is not more complex than CALCUL spinor techniques for massless fermions. We obtain spinor Chisholm identities for massive fermions. As an illustration, expressions are given for the amplitudes of electron-positron annihilation into fermions-pairs for several polarizations.
