High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

The system of 4 differential equations in the external invariant satisfied by the 4 master integrals of the general massive 2-loop sunrise self-mass diagram is solved by the Runge-Kutta method in the complex plane. The method, whose features are discussed in details, offers a reliable and robust approach to the direct and precise numerical evaluation of Feynman graph integrals.
