Covariant BCFW for All Masses
arXiv:2610.10686
Abstract
We use the massive spinor-helicity formalism to describe a novel construction for massive spinors which allows one to connect the many choices of bases useful in the representation of amplitudes involving massive particles, and we use this to derive a new formulation for the general BCFW shift that is valid regardless whether or which of the particles involved are massive or massless. This formalism should help facilitate a more coherent implementation of on-shell recursion for computing amplitudes involving massive particles in four dimensions.
