We propose that loop integrals with internal heavy particles can be evaluated by expanding in the limit of small external masses. This provides a systematically improvable approximation to the integrals in the entire phase space, and works…

We show that the calculation of L-loop Feynman integrals in D dimensions can be reduced to a series of matrix multiplications in D times L dimensions. This gives rise to a new type of expansions for the critical exponents in three…
