A tree-level diagram has no loops and gives the leading classical contribution allowed by the interaction vertices.
For three real scalar fields with field interaction term and mediator mass , the connected tree-level Feynman diagram for has one exchanged and Mandelstam invariant . Each vertex has a factor : its two identical-field Wick contractions cancel the factor . Thus . There is no - or -channel at this order because the interaction has no mixed vertex. Distinguishable external particles also require no exchange symmetrization.
