abstract

We present an approach to bosonic ($Z^0, W^{\pm}$) as well as fermionic (top-quark) Breit-Wigner propagators which is consistent with gauge invariance arguments. In particular, for the $Z^0$-boson propagator we extend previous analyses and show that the part proportional to $k_{\mu} k_{\nu}/M^2$ must be modified near the resonance. We derive a mass shift which agrees with results obtained elsewhere by different methods. The modified form of a resonant heavy fermion propagator is also given.

    In Gaussian wave-packet QFT, flavor oscillations switch on only after a propagation-time threshold set by the wave-packet energy uncertainty and the intermediate particle's decay width; below it the neutrino is purely...

    A finite-time QFT treatment removes the t-channel singularity that appears when an unstable particle scatters off another particle.
