Analytic helicity amplitudes for two-loop five-gluon scattering: the single-minus case

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2019-02-20 v1 High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

We present a compact analytic expression for the leading colour two-loop five-gluon amplitude in Yang-Mills theory with a single negative helicity and four positive helicities. The analytic result is reconstructed from numerical evaluations over finite fields. The numerical method combines integrand reduction, integration-by-parts identities and Laurent expansion into a basis of pentagon functions to compute the coefficients directly from six-dimensional generalised unitarity cuts.
