Reducing full one-loop amplitudes to scalar integrals at the integrand level

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v2

Abstract

We show how to extract the coefficients of the 4-, 3-, 2- and 1-point one-loop scalar integrals from the full one-loop amplitude of arbitrary scattering processes. In a similar fashion, also the rational terms can be derived. Basically no information on the analytical structure of the amplitude is required, making our method appealing for an efficient numerical implementation
