2.1 Matrix elements

We start with the processes (2.1) and (2.2),

The matrix element is

 

where

with

The form factors are the ones defined in appendix C. is the electromagnetic form factor of the . Finally the quantity stands for

and the four-momenta are

such that .

In order to obtain the matrix element for (2.3) and (2.4),

one identifies and in (2.6) and subtracts the contribution obtained from interchanging :
