The first four-fermion operator is the low-energy Fermi interaction obtained by replacing the crossed propagator in the charged-current diagram by . The second operator is obtained analogously from the -exchange weak neutral current; and are its electron vector and axial-vector couplings. Thus the two terms represent respectively the charged-current and neutral-current diagrams in part (v), with their interference retained when the amplitude is squared.
