In the present state FeynHelpers is **NOT READY** for productive use. In particular, you should **NEVER** rely on the results that were obtained solely with FeynHelpers but not checked with any other tools or by hand. However, you are encouraged to report bugs and suggest improvements.

## PaXEvaluate

* PaXEvaluate is a function that fetches analytic expressions for Passarino-Veltman coefficient and scalar functions with up to 3-legs from Package-X.
80
-
81
-
* The syntax is `PaxEvaluate[expr,q]`, where `expr` is the expression that you want to evaluate and `l` denotes the loop momentum
82
-
* There are also some options, from which `PaXImplicitPrefactor` is the most important one. It denotes an implicit prefactor of the loop integral, i.e. a prefactor that is not written explicitly but understood. For example, using `FAD[{q, m}]` with `PaXImplicitPrefactor -> 1/(2 Pi)^(4 - 2 Epsilon)` corresponds to entering the integral `\[Integral] d q^D / (2Pi)^D 1/(q^2 - m^2)`, i.e. the usual 1-loop tadpole integral with the "textbook" prefactor.
