We obtain a nonperturbative, analytical solution to integral equation of scattering theory by assuming the field within the scattering object is a spherical wave with a scattering amplitude equal to that of the far field. This approximation…

In the limit where partons become collinear to each other, scattering amplitudes factorize into a product of universal, process-independent building blocks and scattering amplitudes involving fewer partons. We compute these universal…

We show how to apply the BCFW recursion relation to Feynman loop integrals with the help of the Feynman-tree theorem. We deconstruct in this way all Feynman diagrams in terms of on-shell subamplitudes. Every cut originating from the…
