Dear All,

Can anyone enlighten me as to how to handle complex infinities that arise in tadpole diagrams involving massless particles? For instance the following calculation in QED:

tops = CreateTopologies[1, 1 -> 1];
ins = InsertFields[tops[[2]], F[1, {1}] -> F[1, {1}], Model -> QED,
          InsertionLevel -> {Particles}];
CreateFeynAmp[ins]

Produces three diagrams whose amplitudes involve ‘ComplexInfinity’ due to the zero mass of the photon. How should these diagrams be handled by FeynArts/FeynCalc?

Many thanks
Jon
