FeynCalc manual (development version)

CFAD

CFAD[{{q1 +..., p1 . q2 +...,} {m^2, s}, n}, ...] denotes a Cartesian propagator given by \frac{1}{[(q_1+\ldots)^2 + p_1 \cdot q_2 ... + m^2 + s i \eta]^n}, where q_1^2 and p_1 \cdot q_2 are Cartesian scalar products in D-1 dimensions.

For brevity one can also use shorter forms such as CFAD[{q1+ ..., m^2}, ...], CFAD[{q1+ ..., m^2 , n}, ...], CFAD[{q1+ ..., {m^2, -1}}, ...], CFAD[q1,...] etc.

If s is not explicitly specified, its value is determined by the option EtaSign, which has the default value -1.

If n is not explicitly specified, then the default value 1 is assumed. Translation into FeynCalcI internal form is performed by FeynCalcInternal, where a CFAD is encoded using the special head CartesianPropagatorDenominator.
