Detailed Description

Author
Peter Richardson

The SpinorBarWaveFunction class is designed to store the wavefunction of a barred spinor 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 spinor using the LorentzSpinorBar 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.

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

◆ conjugate()

void ThePEG::Helicity::SpinorBarWaveFunction::conjugate ( )

Take the conjugate of the spinor $u_c=C\bar{u}^T$.

This operation transforms u-spinors to v-spinors and vice-versa and is required when dealing with majorana particles.
