Rolf,

I am a bit confused by what the advantage of using an older version of
FeynArts would be. My research is on an extension of the Standard Model. I
have written the model file and tested it pretty extensively with FeynArts
both with and without FeynCalc. Me eventual goal is to do two loop self
energy calculations on my model. At the moment I am just trying to do one
loop calculations as a test of the FeynCalc method (the one loop results
have previously been done by hand).

I have attached a mathematica notebook with the type of self energy
calculation I need to do. It was a test of the method I did for the electron
self energy in QED, using FeynCalc 4.1.1. The last two calculated terms can
be combined for the standard result of the QED one loop mass correction. I
am not sure how I would use FeynCalc5 beta1 and the createFeynAmp function
to do the same calculation in terms of PV functions. Would you have any
suggestions?

Many thanks,
Jon Palmer
