英文摘要

In gauge theories, contact terms play an important role in ensuring gauge invariance. In the spinor helicity formalism, the choice of a gauge-fixing condition manifests itself in the form of the choice of reference vector to write the massless polarization vector(s). However, this choice must be irrelevant in any gauge-invariant observable. We use this principle to determine contact term for Electromagnetic Compton amplitude. We considered three-point function between two massive particles \& a photon to be one which is responsible for soft photon theorem/Coulomb and demonstrate that it is possible to use the above-mentioned principle to find the contact term for the tree-level Compton amplitude of two bosonic massive spinning particles and two photons. The final result does not suffer from any spurious poles.
