# tikz-feynman package - horizontal alignment of graphs

I would like to draw three of the following Feynman diagram side by side:

Here is the code to generate the above the Feynman diagram:

\begin{center}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{feynman}
\vertex (i1) {$$p_{1}$$};
\vertex [above right=of i1] (a) {$$\mu$$};
\vertex [      right=of a ] (b) {$$\nu$$};
\vertex [      above=of b ] (c) {$$\rho$$};
\vertex [      left =of c ] (d) {$$\sigma$$};
\vertex [      below=of d ] (a);
\vertex [below right=of b ] (i2) {$$p_{2}$$};
\vertex [above right=of c ] (f2) {$$k_{2}$$};
\vertex [above  left=of d ] (f1) {$$k_{1}$$};
\diagram* {
(i1) -- [photon] (a) -- [fermion, edge label'=$$q-p_{2}$$] (b) -- [fermion, edge label'=$$q$$] (c) -- [fermion, edge label'=$$q-k_{2}$$] (d) -- [fermion, edge label'=$$q-p_{1}-p_{2}$$] (a),
(b) -- [photon] (i2),
(c) -- [photon] (f2),
(d) -- [photon] (f1),
};
\end{feynman}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{center}


How do I generate the three diagrams side by side?

Also, how do I move the indices to a side so that each pair of three lines join at a vertex?

To generate the diagrams side-by-side, you just add them one after each other:

\documentclass[tikz]{article}

\usepackage[compat=1.1.0]{tikz-feynman}

\begin{document}
\begin{center}
\begin{tikzpicture}[baseline=(current bounding box.center)]
\begin{feynman}
\vertex (i1) {$$p_{1}$$};
\vertex [above right=of i1] (a);
\vertex [      right=of a ] (b);
\vertex [      above=of b ] (c);
\vertex [      left =of c ] (d);
\vertex [      below=of d ] (a);
\vertex [below right=of b ] (i2) {$$p_{2}$$};
\vertex [above right=of c ] (f2) {$$k_{2}$$};
\vertex [above  left=of d ] (f1) {$$k_{1}$$};
\diagram* {
(i1) -- [photon] (a) -- [fermion, edge label'=$$q-p_{2}$$] (b) -- [fermion, edge label'=$$q$$] (c) -- [fermion, edge label'=$$q-k_{2}$$] (d) -- [fermion, edge label'=$$q-p_{1}-p_{2}$$] (a),
(b) -- [photon] (i2),
(c) -- [photon] (f2),
(d) -- [photon] (f1),
};
\end{feynman}
\end{tikzpicture}
%
\begin{tikzpicture}[baseline=(current bounding box.center)]
\def\leglength{1}
\begin{feynman}
\vertex[blob] (m) at (0, 0) {};
\vertex (a) at (-\leglength,-\leglength);
\vertex (b) at ( \leglength,-\leglength);
\vertex (c) at (-\leglength, \leglength);
\vertex (d) at ( \leglength, \leglength);
\diagram* {
(a) -- [photon] (m) -- [photon] (c),
(b) -- [photon] (m) -- [photon] (d),
};
\end{feynman}
\end{tikzpicture}
%
\feynmandiagram [baseline=(current bounding box.center), horizontal=a to b, node distance=1.5cm] {
a -- [photon] o [blob] -- [photon] b,
c -- [photon] o        -- [photon] d,
};
\end{center}
\end{document}


Note that I put % on the lines in between as I want to prevent LaTeX from thinking there should be a newline. Also, baseline is used to adjust the vertical alignment of the diagrams.

• I would also like to have labels for the internal vertices of the Feynman diagram. How do I do so? – nightmarish Feb 16 '17 at 17:31
• You can have either: \vertex [above right=of i1] (a) {$$\mu$$}; or \vertex [above right=of i1, label=$$\mu$$] (a);. – JP-Ellis Feb 17 '17 at 3:04
• Doesn't help though! The mu cuts through the lines. I was wondering if the mu can label the vertex while still not cutting any of the nearby lines. – nightmarish Feb 17 '17 at 3:36
• I'm not quite sure what you mean, but I did amend this answer to your other question which places label next to vertices. I think that's what you want? If not, please feel free to ask a new question. – JP-Ellis Feb 17 '17 at 4:56
