[Ti*k*Z-Feynman](http://www.jpellis.me/projects/tikz-feynman) [](https://ctan.org/pkg/tikz-feynman) [](https://travis-ci.org/JP-Ellis/tikz-feynman)
=============================================================
Ti*k*Z-Feynman is a LaTeX package allowing Feynman diagrams to be easily
generated within LaTeX with minimal user instructions and without the need of
external programs. It builds upon the Ti*k*Z package and leverages the graph
placement algorithms from Ti*k*Z in order to automate the placement of many
vertices. Ti*k*Z-Feynman still allows fine-tuned placement of vertices so that
even complex diagrams can still be generated with ease.
Ti*k*Z-Feynman is made available through the
[Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN)][ctan] and comes with some thorough
[documentation][documentation] containing a tutorial and many examples. Please
refer to the [project page][projectpage] for additional information.
Ti*k*Z-Feynman is open source and contribution are welcome. If you have any
suggestions, feature requests, or have found any bugs, feel free to create a new
issue or pull request on Github.
Below are a few example to demonstrate how easy diagram can be, and how
extensible it can be. Many more are given in the
[documentation][documentation]:
```latex
\feynmandiagram [horizontal=a to b] {
i1 -- [fermion] a -- [fermion] i2,
a -- [photon] b,
f1 -- [fermion] b -- [fermion] f2,
};
```
```latex
\feynmandiagram [large, vertical=e to f] {
a -- [fermion] b -- [photon, momentum=\(k\)] c -- [fermion] d,
b -- [fermion, momentum'=\(p_{1}\)] e -- [fermion, momentum'=\(p_{2}\)] c,
e -- [gluon] f,
h -- [fermion] f -- [fermion] i;
};
```
```latex
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{feynman}
