Consider the t-channel diagram of phi-4 one loop diagrams. Evaluated it is, with loop momenta p,
λ22∫d4p(2π)41(p+q)2−m21p2−m2
If I want to regularize this using Pauli-Villars regularization, which is the correct method? The procedure is to make the replacement 1p2−m2→1p2−m2−1p2−Λ2.
My question is do I apply the reguarization to one term in the integral or both terms?
I've seen variations where the propagators become 1p2−m21(p+q)2−m2→1p2−m21(p+q)2−m2−1p2−Λ21(p+q)2−Λ2 and also where we have 1p2−m21(p+q)2−m2→(1p2−m2−1p2−Λ2)(1(p+q)2−m2−1(p+q)2−Λ2)
In the latter case one ends up with four terms and each term is then evaluated using a Feynman parameter and integrating over wick rotated momenta, obtaining a logarithmic expression.
I'm pretty sure I've also seen where it was only applied to one of the terms.
Which is correct? (or are they equivalent?)
