Abstract

Scattering amplitudes for the massless QCD process, qqˉqqˉq\bar{q}\to q^\prime\bar{q}^\prime, are calculated in the one-loop order in the Feynman-Diagram (FD) gauge, where gluons are quantized on the light cone with opposite direction of the three-momenta. We find non-decoupling of the Faddeev-Popov ghosts and non-conventional UV singularities in dimensional regularization. The known QCD amplitudes with asymptotic freedom are reproduced only after summing propagator and vertex corrections. By quantizing gluons in the Feynman gauge on the FD gauge background, we obtain the one-loop improved FD gauge amplitudes.
