Image talk:Feynmann Diagram Gluon Radiation.svg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It strikes me that the feynman diagram for electron - positron annihilation is wrong.

The arrow on the positron line is in the opposite direction and the arrow on the anti quark is in the opposite direction. If we reverse these two arrows it then seems to make sense.

Or have I missed something?

Positrons have their time arrows pointing backwards in times, think of positrons as electrons going back in time. Also, I dont think colour charge is conserved on this diagram, a free gluon cannot be formed by such a process, should it be terminated? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.235.132.32 (talk) 12:07, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
