Massless two-body scattering flux normalization

ID: massless-two-body-scattering-flux-normalization

For two distinct massless final particles, in the centre-of-mass frame. The invariant initial flux is . Their ratio gives the displayed differential cross-section. Equivalently the denominator is . Initial spins are averaged and final spins and colors summed when defining an inclusive unpolarized cross-section; averaging final colors would change the observable.
