Key Equations

$$j^\mu_e = \bar{v}(p_2)(-ie\gamma^\mu)u(p_1)$$
$$|\mathcal{M}|^2 = \frac{e^4}{s^2}\left[\bar{v}(p_2)\gamma^\mu u(p_1)\right]\left[\bar{u}(p_3)\gamma_\mu v(p_4)\right]\left[\bar{v}(p_2)\gamma^\nu u(p_1)\right]^*\left[\bar{u}(p_3)\gamma_\nu v(p_4)\right]^*$$
$$L_\mu^{\mu\nu} = 4\left[p_3^\mu p_4^\nu + p_3^\nu p_4^\mu - (p_3 \cdot p_4 + m_\mu^2)g^{\mu\nu}\right]$$
$$t = -2E^2(1 - \cos\theta) = -\frac{s}{2}(1 - \cos\theta)$$

Equations are rendered with MathJax in the PDF with professional LaTeX typesetting.
