\require{cancel} Final (main) Block D, describing X + s_{134} (\to p_4 + s_{13} (\to \cancel{p_1} p_3)) + s_{256} (\to p_6 + s_{25} (\to \cancel{p_2} p_5))
This Block addresses the change of variables needed to pass from the standard phase-space parametrisation for p_{1 \dots 6} \times \delta^4 to a parametrisation in terms of the four (squared) masses of the intermediate propagators.
The integration is performed over s_{13}, s_{134}, s_{25}, s_{256} with p_{3 \dots 6} as input. Per integration point, the LorentzVector of the invisible particles, p_1 and p_2, are computed based on the following set of equations:
- s_{13} = (p_1 + p_3)^2
- s_{134} = (p_1 + p_3 + p_4)^2
- s_{25} = (p_2 + p_5)^2
- s_{256} = (p_2 + p_5 + p_6)^2
- Conservation of momentum (with \vec{p}_T^{tot} the total transverse momentum of visible particles):
- p_{1x} + p_{2x} = - p_{Tx}^{tot}
- p_{1y} + p_{2y} = - p_{Ty}^{tot}
- p_1^2 = m_1^2
- p_2^2 = m_2^2
Up to four solutions are possible for (p_1, p_2).
