t-channel

Structure

Each incoming particle continues as an outgoing particle, connected by a single internal propagator running between the two fermion lines. The upper line is unchanged in identity; the lower line likewise.

Where it appears

Coulomb scattering (one-photon exchange), Moller scattering t-channel, Bhabha scattering exchange channel. The familiar $1/t$ pole gives the forward scattering peak.
