Abstract

We compute the two-loop corrections to the massless quark form factor γqqˉ\gamma^* \to q\bar q and gluon form factor HggH\to gg to all orders in the dimensional regularisation parameter ϵ=(4d)/2\epsilon=(4-d)/2. The two-loop contributions to the form factors are reduced to linear combinations of master integrals, which are computed in a closed form, expressed as Γ\Gamma-functions and generalised hypergeometric functions of unit argument. Using the newly developed HypExp-package, these can be expanded to any desired order, yielding Laurent expansions in ϵ\epsilon. We provide expansions of the form factors to order ϵ2\epsilon^2, as required for ultraviolet renormalisation and infrared factorisation of the three-loop form factors.
