For three real scalar fields with field interaction term LI​=−21​(g1​ϕ2Φ+g2​ψ2Φ) and mediator mass M, the connected tree-level Feynman diagram for ϕψ→ϕψ has one exchanged Φ and Mandelstam invariant t=(p−p′)2. Each vertex has a factor −igj​: its two identical-field Wick contractions cancel the factor 1/2. Thus iM=(−ig1​)(−ig2​)i/(t−M2+i0). There is no s- or u-channel at this order because the interaction has no mixed ϕψΦ vertex. Distinguishable external particles also require no exchange symmetrization.
