Detailed Description

The VVVVertex class is the base class for triple vector vertices using the perturbative form.

It inherits from the AbstractVVVVertex class for the storage of the particles allowed at the vertex.

Classes which implement a specific vertex should inherit from this and implement the virtual setCoupling member.

The form of the vertex is

\[ig\left[ (p_1-p_2)^\gamma g^{\alpha\beta } +(p_2-p_3)^\alpha g^{\beta \gamma} +(p_3-p_1)^\beta g^{\alpha\gamma} \right]\epsilon_{1\alpha}\epsilon_{2\beta}\epsilon_{3\gamma}\]
