Expression for differential cross sections

The expressions are provided (see links below) as text files in C-like format. They are expressed in terms of inner product of 4-vectors of leptons and incoming partons in the center-of-mass frame of the 4 leptons.

Constants used are as follows:

  • Pi = π = 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884797169399375105820974944
  • Mz = Mass of Z boson
  • wZ = Width of Z boson
  • M1, M2 = The two di-lepton masses
  • gL, gR = Left-handed and right-handed coupling of Z to leptons
  • gqL, gqR = Left-handed and right-handed coupling of Z to quarks
  • s = center-of-mass energy of the 4-lepton system
  • el = charge of the electron
  • p3, p4, p5, p6 = 4-vectors of the final leptons
  • p1, p2 = (s/2, 0, 0, ±s/2) = 4-vectors of the incoming partons
  • SC(A, B) = gμνAμBν with convention (+, -, -, -)
  • EPS(A, B, C, D) = εμνρσ AμBνCρDσ, where εμνρσ is the fully anti-symmetric tensor with ε0123 = +1.
  • vh = vev

General spin-0 effective Lagrangian up to dim-5 operators

In the expression you'll see some cryptic parameters not explained above. Here's what they are. The effective Lagrangian can be written as follows:

L ~ v-1 X (MZ2 A1ZZ Zμ Zμ + A2ZZ Zμν Zμν + A3ZZ Zμνμν + A2ZA Zμν Fμν + A3ZA Zμνμν + A2AA Fμν Fμν + A3AA Fμνμν)

The mappings are:

  • A1ZZ = ahR + ahI i
  • A2ZZ = aZR + aZI i
  • A3ZZ = aZdR + aZdI i
  • A2ZA = aZAR + aZAI i
  • A3ZA = aZAdR + aZAdI i
  • A2AA = aAR + aAI i
  • A3AA = aAdR + aAdI i
