| Short description: | Asymptotic expansions constitute an important tool for the
evaluation of Feynman diagrams in particle physics. The combination of
the programs q2e and exp perform the asymptotic expansion at
the symbolic level in an automated way.
q2e: re-write Qgraf output in FORM notation. exp: use the output of q2e, apply the asymptotic expansion and generate FORM code for each subdiagram. |

q2e and exp have been used in a variety of phenomenological problems. The first application was the computation of top quark mass suppressed terms to the decay of Z boson to bottom quarks to order ααs.
q2e and exp are available from the authors.
