Feynman rules for the rational part of the Electroweak 1-loop amplitudes in the R_xi gauge and in the Unitary gauge
arXiv:1009.4302 · doi:10.1007/JHEP01(2011)029
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 formulae are given both in the R_xi gauge and in the Unitary gauge, therefore completing the results in the 't Hooft-Feynman gauge already presented in a previous publication. As a consistency check, we verified, in the case of the process H -> gamma gamma and in a few other physical cases, the independence of the total Rational Part R_1+R_2 on the chosen gauge. In addition, we explicitly checked the equivalence of the limits xi -> infinity after or before the loop momentum integration in the definition of the Unitary gauge at 1-loop.
