I'm trying to create a Feynman diagram where a proton and antiproton collide and 2 of their partons create a W boson which then decays leptonically. I made an attempt using the following code:
\feynmandiagram [horizontal=a to b] {
p1 [particle=\(\overline{p}\), opacity=0] -- [anti fermion] b1 [blob] -- [anti fermion, edge label = \(\overline{u}\)] a,
p2 [particle=\( p \)] -- [fermion] b2 [blob] -- [fermion, edge label = \(u\)] a,
a -- [boson, edge label=\(W^{+}\)] b,
f1 [particle=\(e^{+}\)] -- [fermion] b -- [fermion] f2 [particle=\(\nu_{e}\)],
p1 -- [opacity=0] p2,
b1 -- [anti fermion] r11,
b1 -- [anti fermion] r12,
r11 -- [fermion, opacity=0] b,
r12 -- [fermion, opacity=0] b,
b2 -- [fermion] r21,
b2 -- [fermion] r22,
r21 -- [fermion, opacity=0] b,
r22 -- [fermion, opacity=0] b,
};
However, this doesn't look very nice. First of all, I would like to get both of the incoming protons on the left to have horizontal lines. Secondly, if possible, I would also like the 2 quarks that don't partake in the W production to be horizontal as well (or at least parallel) and equal in length.
I also used some opacity=0
connections to get everything roughly in the correct place. Without these, the diagram looks even less like what I have in mind, but I think it's probably not the way to go since this doesn't result in a nice diagram. How could I solve this using tikz-feynman
with compat=1.1.0
?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Adding a drawing of what i have in mind roughly:
EDIT 2: I just noticed that in my latex diagram, there is an up and anti up quark instead of down and anti up, you can ignore that. There's also a mistake with my quark in my own diagram, oops.
