Mandelstam Representation
[math]\Longrightarrow \left({\mathbf P_1^*}+ {\mathbf P_2^{*}}\right)^2=\left({\mathbf P_1^{'*}}+ {\mathbf P_2^{'*}}\right)^2\equiv s[/math]
[math]\Longrightarrow \left({\mathbf P_1^*}- {\mathbf P_1^{'*}}\right)^2=\left({\mathbf P_2^*}- {\mathbf P_2^{'*}}\right)^2\equiv t[/math]
[math]\Longrightarrow \left({\mathbf P_1^*}- {\mathbf P_2^{'*}}\right)^2=\left({\mathbf P_2^*}- {\mathbf P_1^{'*}}\right)^2\equiv u[/math]
The s quantity is known as the square of the center of mass energy (invariant mass)
The t quantity is known as the square of the 4-momentum transfer
