Detailed Description

The RFVVertex class is the base class for all helicity amplitude vertices which use the renormalisable form for the spin-3/2 fermion-fermion-vector vertex.

Any such vertices should inherit from this class and implement the virtual setcoupling member function. The base AbstractRFVVertex class is used to store the particles allowed to interact at the vertex.

The form of the vertex is

\[ic\bar{f_2}_\mu \left[ g^{\mu\nu} a^{1\lambda} P_\lambda +\gamma^\nu p_{1}^\mu a^{2\lambda} P_\lambda +p_{1}^\mu p_{2}^\nu a^{3\lambda} P_\lambda \right]f_1\epsilon_{3\nu}\]
