Using ModelMaker.m in FeynArts
I want to write a model file in FeynArts and I came across ModelMaker which takes in the Lagrangian as Input and then generates the .mod file. I am trying to make a model file for $\phi^4$ theory as a start. I have a couple of questions as I cannot…

FeynCalc: FermionSpinSum problems with interference of diagrams
I encountered a problem in FeynCalc, where i wanted to calculate the $\sum_\text{spins}|\mathcal{M}|^2$ of a process and therefore need the function FermionSpinSum[ ] of FeynCalc.
I run:
TESTM = SpinorUBar[l,…

FeynCalc capability in Beyond Standard Model
Few days ago I started to learn FeynCalc, but it seemed to me that it has not capability of handling new models, thus I quit. It seemed that it just loads some predefined Lagrangians.
My questions are:
Can I define an arbitrary Lagrangian with…

FeynCalc TID PaVeLimitTo4 option leads to divergence
I'm trying to compute the Higgs to gluon pair decay at 1-loop using Feyncalc and FeynHelper (to connect with Package-X).
I first define variables and loop part as:
FCClearScalarProducts[];
SP[k1, k1] = 0;
SP[k2, k2] = 0;
SP[q, q] = mH^2;
SP[k1, q] =…

Problems in generating example models of FeynCalc
I'm getting started with FeynCalc and FeynArts, so I tried to run some of the examples they give you. Everything works fine, except for the ones which require to generate a model using the scripts in FeynRules. They all give me the following error…

Can FeynCalc be used for Heavy quark effective field?
I start to learn FeynCalc. I want to use it for Heavy quark field theory. For example, extract the vertices from Eq.(34) from paper 1901.10339. Since I am not good at FeynCalc, so I want to know whether it can be used to Heavy quark field theory. If…

Calculating Amplitudes with FeynArts
I'm following a lecture on how to use FeynCalc, FeynArts, I have done exactly what they say to me to do. Everything was going ok until that point. FeynArts is not calculating amplitudes, error message says I did not pass a FeynAmpList object, but…

How to evaluate an expression with FeynCalc?
How can I evaluate specific expressions in FeynCalc? For example, if there is a $\delta^i_j$, how can I set $i$ to 1 and $j$ to 2 and make it evaluate to zero?
I've tried
TR[GA[µ,v]] /. {µ -> 1, v -> 2}
but that does not work, it just yields…

Need to use FeynArts to determine Feynman diagrams of a process with initial particles having no masses
so i'm facing this problem in using FeynArts, i need to find the feynman diagrams of a process with intial particles not having masses, but i can't find the command to use to declare particles as being massless.
Is there such a command for the…

Simplify GA[a].GA[b]+GA[b].GA[a] to 2 MT[a,b]
Does a FeynCalc command exist, that simplifies the expression
GA[a].GA[b]+GA[b].GA[a]
to
2 MT[a,b]
I've tried Calc, DiracSimplify and DiracTrick to no avail.
If not, how can I do it with vanilla Mathematica?
