description

When facing the computation of more realistic processes, the calculations can become lengthy very fast as the number of Feynman diagrams grows. Before starting the calculation process the problem should be reduced to its minimal form. Here we will present an example of how to reduce the number of calculated diagrams for a given process (which in this case will be a Higgs-like scalar decay to two photons through a charged scalar loop) using gauge symmetry.
