Recursive Landau Analysis

High Energy Physics - Theory 2025-08-27 v2

Abstract

We propose a recursive method that makes use of the basic principle of unitarity to calculate the Landau singularities of n-point scattering amplitudes directly in kinematic space. For a vast class of Feynman diagrams, the method enables rapid analytic computation of Landau singularities beyond current state-of-the-art technology. This includes new predictions relevant for two- and higher-loop processes in the Standard Model involving both massive quarks and electroweak particles.
