Abstract

We use the solutions to the recursion relations for double-off-shell fermion currents to compute helicity amplitudes for nn-photon scattering and electron-positron annihilation to photons in the massless limit of QED. The form of these solutions is simple enough to allow {\it all}\ of the integrations to be performed explicitly. For nn-photon scattering, we find that unless n=4n=4, the amplitudes for the helicity configurations (+++...+) and (-++...+) vanish to one-loop order.
