Distinguishable scalar scattering by a shared mediator

For three
real scalar fields
with
field interaction term
L
I
=
−
2
1
(
g
1
ϕ
2
Φ
+
g
2
ψ
2
Φ
)
and mediator
mass
M
, the connected
tree-level Feynman diagram
for
ϕ
ψ
→
ϕ
ψ
has one exchanged
Φ
and
Mandelstam invariant
t
=
(
p
−
p
′
)
2
. Each
vertex
has a
factor
−
i
g
j
: its two identical-
field
Wick contractions
cancel the factor
1/2
. Thus
i
M
=
(
−
i
g
1
)
(
−
i
g
2
)
i
/
(
t
−
M
2
+
i
0
)
. There is no
s
- or
u
-channel at this order because the interaction has no mixed
ϕ
ψ
Φ
vertex
. Distinguishable external particles also require no exchange
symmetrization
.
