The reduction of Feynman integrals to a basis of master integrals plays a crucial role for many high-precision calculations and Kira is one of the leading tools for this task. In these proceedings we discuss some of the new features and…
The worldline formalism shares with string theory the property that it allows one to write down master integrals that effectively combine the contributions of many Feynman diagrams. While at the one-loop level these diagrams differ only by…
