Amplitude Factorization in the Electroweak Standard Model (2204.03258v2)
Published 7 Apr 2022 in hep-ph
Abstract: We lay out the basis of factorization at the amplitude level for processes involving the entire Standard Model. The factorization appears in a generalized eikonal approximation in which we expand around a quasi-soft limit for massive gauge bosons, fermions, and scalars. We use the chirality-flow formalism to express loop exchanges or emissions as operators on chiral structures. This forms the basis for amplitude evolution with parton exchange and branching in the full Standard Model, including the electroweak sector.
