Description
The amount of information propagated by an intermediate heavy particle exhibits characteristic features in inelastic scatterings with n$\geq$3 final particles. As the total energy increases, the entanglement entropy, between its decay products and other final particles, exhibits a universal sharp dip, suppressed by its small decay rate. This indicates an entanglement suppression from a low-energy effective theory to a channel dominated by an on-shell heavy particle. As demonstrations of these entanglement features, we study concrete models of 2$\to$3 and 2$\to$4 scatterings, which shed light on the entanglement structure beyond the area law derived for 2$\to$2 scattering. In practice, these features may be probed by suitably marginalizing the phase-space distribution of final particles.
