The High-energy Physics package is historic for REDUCE, since REDUCE
originated as a program to aid in computations with Dirac expressions.
The commutation algebra of the gamma matrices is independent of their
representation, and is a natural subject for symbolic mathematics. Dirac
theory is applied to beta decay and the computation of
cross-sections and scattering. The high-energy physics operators are
available in the REDUCE main program, rather than as a module which must
be loaded.
