Description

PHI is a FeynCalc add-on that facilitates calculations in Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT). It was originally developed by Frederik Orellana during his PhD at the University of Bern.

PHI is currently developed and maintained by F. Orellana, V. Shtabovenko and R. Mertig.

Status

The current version of PHI is for testing purposes only. It is not yet fully compatible with the most recent versions of FeynCalc. Some things might work, some won't.

Requirements

PHI is designed as an add-on for FeynCalc. To use it you need at least FeynCalc 9.3 (development version) and Mathematica 8.

Installation

Automatic installation

  • Install the latest development version of FeynCalc according to the instructions in the wiki

  • Run the following instruction in a Kernel or Notebook session of Mathematica

     Import["https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FeynCalc/PHI/master/install.m"]
     InstallPHI[InstallPHIDevelopmentVersion -> True]
    

If the above code fails with URLFetch::invhttp: SSL connect error (e.g. with Mathematica 9 on macOS), try

	ImportString[URLFetch["https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FeynCalc/PHI/master/install.m"]]
	InstallPHI[InstallPHIDevelopmentVersion -> True]

Manual installation

  • Create a directory PHI inside
	FileNameJoin[{$UserBaseDirectory, "Applications", "FeynCalc", "AddOns"}]

and put the source code there.

Usage

For usage information see here. Notice that not all code examples are going to work, most of them probably won't :(
