Dear Vladyslav,
Thanks for the fast reply and your great work with FeynCalc. I checked that many examples with chiral projectors indeed yield correct results now, but not all of them. In the example below, Res1 is consistent with my own calculations.
(*Definitions*)
In[2]:= R = GA[6];
In[3]:= L = GA[7];
In[4]:= yiPR = YiPR L + YiPRCC R;
In[5]:= ys1 = Ys1 L + Ys1CC R;
In[6]:= ys2 = Ys2 L + Ys2CC R;
In[7]:= SetMandelstam[s, t, u, p1, p2, -q1, -q2, mc1, mc2, ms1, ms2];
In[8]:= AmpSquare :=
Tr[yiPR.(GS[p1] - mc1 ID).ys1.(GS[p2 - q2] + mb ID).ys2.(GS[p2] +
mc2 ID)] // Simplify;
(*Correct Result*)
In[9]:= ID = 1; Res1 = AmpSquare;
(*Wrong Result*)
In[10]:= Clear[ID, Res2]
In[11]:= ID = GA[6] + GA[7]; Res2 = AmpSquare;
(*Difference*)
In[12]:= Res1 - Res2 // Simplify
Out[12]= mc2 (2 mc1^2 + mc2^2 + ms2^2 - s - u) (YiPR Ys1 Ys2 +
YiPRCC Ys1CC Ys2CC)
All the best,
Ula
Hi,
thanks for the bug report. It is a bug that affects terms like
(L1 GA[7] + R1 GA[6]) where both projectors appear multiplied with
different constants. Should be now fixed. Please reinstall FeynCalc 9.2
and let us know if you encounter any further issues.
Cheers,
Vladyslav
