Why there is only $t$-channel for $u+\bar d\rightarrow u+\bar d$ scattering?
I am reading Griffith's textbook on particle physics about the $u+\bar d\rightarrow u+\bar d$ scattering for QCD. On page 285, it says there is only one possible channel ($t$-channel):
Why there are ...

Problems understanding the BCFW recursion formula
I am currently reading through the chapter about the spinor helicity formalism in Schwartz Quantum Field Theory and Standart Model. In the chapter 27.6 (On-shell recursion) the author introduces the ...

Deep inelastic scattering (DIS) and handbag diagram
Here, in page 11, you can see the so-called 'handbag' diagram that explains how a virtual photon emitted in a deep inelastic scattering (DIS) process interacts with a parton.
I'm going to use this ...

Confusion among channel $u$ and channel $t$ in exclusive reactions
In the this paper (https://arxiv.org/abs/1203.4392), on page 2 it is said that
Since DVCS amplitude is symmetric under $s \leftrightarrow u$ channel crossing, the CFFs and $^{S}C^i_{\cdots}$ ...

Elimination of three gluon vertex
I am reading this paper by Dixon, where it is mentioned that one can diagrammatically compute the colour factor of certain Feynman graphs, such as shown in figure 1, where they expand a three gluon ...
