Novel method to deal with off-shell particles in cascade decays

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2016-03-11 v3

Abstract

We propose a novel algorithm to compute the width of any generic nn-body decay involving multiple off-shell particles having zero and non-zero spins. Starting from a toy example, we show the computations for three different processes that contain spin-0, 12\frac{1}{2}, and 1 off-shell particles. We have checked that our results match with the existing results at the analytical level. This proposal can be automatized and should be useful to compute the phase space for long cascade decays, without any Monte Carlo sampling.
