Abstract

Processes involving electroweak vector bosons in association with jets are crucial for precision studies of the Standard Model at the Large Hadron Collider. Accurate predictions for the process ppV(ˉ)jjpp\rightarrow V(\rightarrow\bar\ell\ell)jj at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO), as well as N3^3LO ones for the process with one fewer jet, require two-loop five-point one-mass amplitudes. These exhibit a significant increase in complexity compared to their massless counterparts. We present results for the partonic processes qˉQQˉqˉ\bar qQ\bar Qq\bar\ell\ell and qˉggqˉ\bar qggq\bar\ell\ell, with a forthcoming package for phenomenology. The present recalculation is based on the previous analytic results from ref. [1]. For the first time, we express two-loop five-point one-mass amplitudes in the spinor-helicity formalism. We achieve three orders of magnitude smaller expressions compared to previous results. This will facilitate phenomenological studies and help clarify mathematical properties of the amplitude.
