packages - FeynArts not working properly

So I have installed all FeynArts folders (from 3.5 to 3.7) with FeynCalc 8.0.1., and none of it is working properly :\

First I load the path to specific FeynArts package (3.5 for instance), then, by:

<< HighEnergyPhysics`FeynCalc`;

I load FeynCalc, and he says

Loading FeynCalc from C:\Users\*****\AppData\Roaming\Mathematica\Applications\HighEnergyPhysics
FeynCalc 8.1.0 For help, type ?FeynCalc, open FeynCalcRef8.nb or visit www.feyncalc.org
Loading FeynArts, see www.feynarts.de for documentation
FeynArts 3.5 patched for use with FeynCalc

So everything seems nice, right? Wrong!

I even load FeynArts package, and no errors. But when I want to initialize the proper model I get:

In[9]:= InitializeModel[SM]

During evaluation of In[9]:= 

During evaluation of In[9]:= loading generic model file C:\Users\*****\AppData\Roaming\Mathematica\Applications\HighEnergyPhysics\FeynArts-3.5\Models\Lorentz.gen

During evaluation of In[9]:= Pattern::patvar: First element in pattern Pattern[b_,_] is not a valid pattern name. >>

Out[9]= $Aborted

And I can't do anything! I can plot topology, but I can't insert fields. I've been doing everything by the book :\ What seems to be wrong? :\

Answer

I've just uploaded a new version which again should support loading FeynArts, so that FeynCalc and FeynArts can be used from the same session - which I personally find very convenient.

See

http://www.feyncalc.org/download/

and

http://www.feyncalc.org/cgi-bin/diary.pl

FeynArts-3.7 is bundled with the release, so you can simply load FeynCalc with

$LoadPhi = True;
    $LoadFeynArts = True;
<< HighEnergyPhysics`FeynCalc`;

The first time you do this, FeynArts will be patched to avoid name clashes etc. After that you can in principle load FeynCalc+FeynArts without loading PHI, but then you should manually do

SetOptions[FourVector, FeynCalcInternal -> False];

before

InitializeModel[SM]

Otherwise FeynArts will complain and not load correctly

because of

FourVector /: -FourVector[mom_, mu___] := FourVector[Expand[-mom], mu]

in "Lorentz.gen".

plotting - Filling between two spheres in SphericalPlot3D

Manipulate[ SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, Mesh -> None, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], {n, 0, 1}] I cant' seem to be able to make a filling between two spheres. I've already tried the obvious Filling -> {1 -> {2}} but Mathematica doesn't seem to like that option. Is there any easy way around this or ... Answer There is no built-in filling in SphericalPlot3D . One option is to use ParametricPlot3D to draw the surfaces between the two shells: Manipulate[ Show[SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], ParametricPlot3D[{ r {Sin[t] Cos[1.5 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[1.5 Pi], Cos[t]}, r {Sin[t] Cos[0 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[0 Pi], Cos[t]}}, {r, 1, 2 - n}, {t, 0, Pi}, PlotStyle -> Yellow, Mesh -> {2, 15}]], {n, 0, 1}]

plotting - Plot 4D data with color as 4th dimension

I have a list of 4D data (x position, y position, amplitude, wavelength). I want to plot x, y, and amplitude on a 3D plot and have the color of the points correspond to the wavelength. I have seen many examples using functions to define color but my wavelength cannot be expressed by an analytic function. Is there a simple way to do this? Answer Here a another possible way to visualize 4D data: data = Flatten[Table[{x, y, x^2 + y^2, Sin[x - y]}, {x, -Pi, Pi,Pi/10}, {y,-Pi,Pi, Pi/10}], 1]; You can use the function Point along with VertexColors . Now the points are places using the first three elements and the color is determined by the fourth. In this case I used Hue, but you can use whatever you prefer. Graphics3D[ Point[data[[All, 1 ;; 3]], VertexColors -> Hue /@ data[[All, 4]]], Axes -> True, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1/GoldenRatio}]

plotting - Mathematica: 3D plot based on combined 2D graphs

I have several sigmoidal fits to 3 different datasets, with mean fit predictions plus the 95% confidence limits (not symmetrical around the mean) and the actual data. I would now like to show these different 2D plots projected in 3D as in but then using proper perspective. In the link here they give some solutions to combine the plots using isometric perspective, but I would like to use proper 3 point perspective. Any thoughts? Also any way to show the mean points per time point for each series plus or minus the standard error on the mean would be cool too, either using points+vertical bars, or using spheres plus tubes. Below are some test data and the fit function I am using. Note that I am working on a logit(proportion) scale and that the final vertical scale is Log10(percentage). (* some test data *) data = Table[Null, {i, 4}]; data[[1]] = {{1, -5.8}, {2, -5.4}, {3, -0.8}, {4, -0.2}, {5, 4.6}, {1, -6.4}, {2, -5.6}, {3, -0.7}, {4, 0.04}, {5, 1.0}, {1, -6.8}, {2, -4.7}, {3, -1.
