$\texttt{SMaSH}$ : Simplify Massive Spinor Helicity

Abstract

We present $\texttt{SMaSH}$, a $\texttt{Mathematica}$ package to do spinor helicity computations in four spacetime dimensions $\href{https://github.com/aakash-kmr/SMaSH}{\text{(github)}}$. It can handle massive spinor helicity computations with explicit little group indices which is a novel feature. It can also handle massless as well as off-shell spinor helicity variables. It is designed to compute perturbative computations; it comes with predefined three point amplitudes and propagators for any masses and spins (arXiv:1709.04891). It can implement the high energy limit over an expression, check the discrete $\tt{C,P,T}$ transformations, compute contact terms and impose gauge invariance for any scattering process. We have shown the usage of such functions for computing gauge invariant Weinberg minimal amplitudes (arXiv:2506:12431, arXiv:2504:06343). The package can also generate both real and complex numerical kinematics for any $n$-point scattering for arbitrary masses and energy scales by implementing the $\tt{RAMBO}$ algorithm. It is also rich with basic spinor helicity manipulations like Schouten simplification, Clifford algebra manipulation, conversion between spinor helicity and Lorentz vectors, derivative w.r.t. spinors and their scalars, helicity scaling etc.
