Mathematica can be invoked on the amdahl cluster as follows:
jones105@amdahl:~$ math Mathematica 5.0 for Linux Copyright 1988-2003 Wolfram Research, Inc. -- Motif graphics initialized -- In[1]:=however, because there is a limit of two users at a time, I recommend preparing your Mathematica input as a script and invoking Mathematica as in the following examples. First, copy the example /home/jones105/phys564/muondecay.m to your own directory. If you print it to the screen it will look like this:
jones105@amdahl:~/phys564$ cat muondecay.m
<<Tracer.m (* Load the Tracer package *)
VectorDimension[4] (* We only need 4-dimensional gamma matrices *)
AntiCommute[on] (* In 4-d, gamma5 will anti-commute *)
Spur[l] (* Evaluate traces labeled by 'l' *)
lmuon = GammaTrace[l,p3,{mu},p1,{nu},(U - G5)] (* Muon trace tensor *)
lelectron = 2 GammaTrace[l,p4,{mu},p2,{nu},(U-G5)] (* Electron trace tensor *)
m = G^2/2 lmuon lelectron (* Spin averaged squared invariant amplitude *)
Simplify[m] (* Simplify the result *)
%/.{p1.p2->s/2,p3.p4->s/2} (* Substitute in the previous result *)
%/.{s->mass^2} (* more substitutions *)
jones105@amdahl:~/phys564$
and if you invoke it thus, you will see the result at the end of lots of
output:
jones105@amdahl:~/phys564$ math < muondecay.m
