Indian physicists Arnab Saha and Aninda Sinha from the Centre for High Energy Physics discovered a new series representation for calculating the irrational number while investigating string theory and quantum scattering of high-energy particles.

The new formula, which closely resembles a representation suggested by the Indian mathematician Sangamagrama Madhava in the 15th century, provides an easier way to extract from calculations involved in deciphering processes such as quantum scattering.

The study, published in Physical Review Letters, focused on simplifying calculations involved in high-energy particle interactions by combining the Euler-Beta Function and Feynman Diagram.

The new series representation allows scientists to rapidly obtain the value of for calculations involving particle scattering, potentially aiding in simplifying calculations for quantum processes.

Initially, the researchers were focusing on high-energy physics and developing models to understand particle interactions. Pi can be represented as a combination of various parameters, and finding the right mix quickly has been a challenge.
