When the full Lorentz-invariant phase-space measure treats n identical final particles as labeled, each physical final configuration is counted n! times. The unlabelled relativistic scattering cross-section therefore includes 1/n!. For two identical scalars, this divides the full-angle result by two; equivalently, integrate over a region containing only one representative of each exchanged pair.
