To implement crossing symmetry with the annihilation labels, replace the old scattering four-momenta by . The scattering Mandelstam variables then become , where now , and . Consequently
In the centre-of-momentum frame, take between the incoming electron and outgoing positive muon, . For negligible masses, and . Therefore
Defining using the outgoing negative muon interchanges and and leaves the result unchanged.
