EFFICIENT ANALYTIC COMPUTATION OF HIGHER-ORDER QCD AMPLITUDES

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2016-09-01 v1 High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

We review techniques simplifying the analytic calculation of one-loop QCD amplitudes with many external legs, for use in next-to-leading-order corrections to multi-jet processes. Particularly useful are the constraints imposed by perturbative unitarity, collinear singularities and a supersymmetry-inspired organization of helicity amplitudes. Certain sequences of one-loop helicity amplitudes with an arbitrary number of external gluons have been obtained using these constraints.
