Abstract

We present the complete set of Feynman rules producing the rational terms of kind R_2 needed to perform any 1-loop calculation in the Electroweak Standard Model. Our results are given both in the 't Hooft-Veltman and in the Four Dimensional Helicity regularization schemes. We also verified, by using both the 't Hooft-Feynman gauge and the Background Field Method, a huge set of Ward identities -up to 4-points- for the complete rational part of the Electroweak amplitudes. This provides a stringent check of our results and, as a by-product, an explicit test of the gauge invariance of the Four Dimensional Helicity regularization scheme in the complete Standard Model at 1-loop. The formulae presented in this paper provide the last missing piece for completely automatizing, in the framework of the OPP method, the 1-loop calculations in the SU(3) X SU(2) X U(1) Standard Model.

Many thanks to Huasheng Shao for having recomputed, independently of us, all of the effective vertices. Thanks to his help and by comparing with an independent computation we performed in a general gauge, we could fix, in the present version, the following formulae: the vertex in Eq. (3.6), the vertex in Eq. (3.8), Eqs (3.16), (3.17) and (3.18)
