Multidimensional phase space and sunset diagrams
We derive expressions for the phase space of a particle of momentum p decaying into N particles, that are valid for any number of dimensions. These are the imaginary parts of so-called “sunset” diagrams, which we also obtain. The results are given as a series of hypergeometric functions, which termi...

particles, that are valid for any number of dimensions. These are the imaginary parts of so-called “sunset” diagrams, which we also obtain. The results are given as a series of hypergeometric functions, which terminate for odd dimensions and are also well suited for deriving the threshold behavior. |
