Detailed Description

The RSSpinorBarWaveFunction class is designed to store the wavefunction of a spin- $\frac32$ particle in a form suitable for use in helicity amplitude calculations of the matrix element using a similar philosophy to the FORTRAN HELAS code.

In addition to storing the barred spinor using the LorentzRSSpinorBar class it inherits from the WaveFunctionBase class to provide storage of the momentum and ParticleData for the fermion.

This class also contains the code which does the actually calculation of the barred spinor for an external particle

When calculating the wavefunction the direction of the particle is used,

i.e.

  • incoming calculates a $\bar{v}$ spinor.
  • outgoing calculates a $\bar{u}$ spinor.

The barred spinors are calculated using a Clebsch-Gordon decomposition in the rest-frame for a massive particle and boosted to the lab-frame. For massless particles the calculation is performed in the lab-frame (N.B. there are only two helicities $\pm\frac32$ in this case.)

N.B. In our convention 0 is the $-\frac32$ helicity state, 1 is the $-\frac12$ helicity state, 2 is the $+\frac12$ helicity state 3 is the $+\frac32$ helicity state and
