Abstract

When computing the properties of reactions involving unstable charged particles care has to be taken to use a gauge invariant amplitude. In this talk we present methods to (automatically) obtain such an amplitude, both at the tree level and in one-loop calculations, using only a minimal number of diagrams. The numerical difference with gauge variant methods commonly used will be discussed for the case of tree level W pair production.
