Detailed Description

The FFVTVertex class is the implementation of the fermion-fermion--vector-tensor vertex.

It inherits from the AbstractFFVTVertex class for the storage of the particles interacting at the vertex and implements the helicity amplitude calculations.

All implementations of this vertex should inherit from it and implement the virtual setCoupling member.

The form of the vertex is

\[\frac{ig\kappa}4t^a_{nm}\bar{f_2}(C_{\mu\nu,\rho\sigma}-g_{\mu\nu}g_{\rho\sigma}) \gamma^\sigma f_1\epsilon_{3\rho}\epsilon_4^{\mu\nu}\]

where -$C_{\mu\nu,\rho\sigma}=g_{\mu\rho}g_{\nu\sigma}+g_{\mu\sigma}g_{\nu\rho} -g_{\mu\nu}g_{\rho\sigma}$.
