One-Loop Helicity Amplitudes for Parton Level Virtual Compton Scattering

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-10 v3

Abstract

We calculate the one-loop QCD virtual corrections to all helicity amplitudes for parton level virtual Compton scattering processes. We include the amplitudes both on quark target process γqγq\gamma^* q\to\gamma q and on gluon target process γgγg\gamma^*g\to\gamma g. The infrared pole structure of the amplitudes is in agreement with the prediction of Catani's general formalism for the singularities of one-loop amplitudes, while expressions for the finite remainder are given in terms of logarithms and dilogarithms that are real in the physical region.
