Elastic scattering from a quartic scalar contact interaction
ID: elastic-scattering-from-a-quartic-scalar-contact-interaction
The factorial-normalized quartic vertex gives an angle-independent tree amplitude of magnitude . For equal incoming and outgoing masses, the momentum ratio in the two-body cross-section cancels. The event density for identical outgoing particles over a full sphere is . On a hemisphere representing each event once, the density is . Both conventions give total event cross-section .
