AB  - We give a systematic treatment of high-spin M functions in the Dirac-Rarita-Schwinger formalism. The main difficulty in writing such M functions is that apparently independent covariants are in fact related. We derive these relations (equivalence theorems) and show how they may be used to obtain a kinematic-singularity-free expansion of the M function. Many examples are given and the general pattern is discussed. We also analyze the restrictions due to discrete symmetries and show how to choose invariant amplitudes whose discontinuities are given by unitarity. The connection with the helicity formalism is stressed throughout. © 1968 The American Physical Society.

Note to staff:  Adding new publications to a research group

  1. Log in to Symplectic.
  2. Click on Menu > Create Links
  3. Choose what you want to create links between – in this case ‘Publications’ and ‘Organisational structures’.
  4. Choose the organisational structure (research group) into which you want to link the publications and check the box next to it.
  5. Now check the box of any publication you want to add to that group. You can use the filters to find what you want and select multiple publications if necessary. 
  6. Scroll to the bottom and click the blue ‘Create new link’ button to link them.
  7. The publications will be added to the group, and will be displayed on the group publications feed within 24 hours (it is not immediate).

Any problems, talk to Tim Evans or the Faculty Web Team.
