We determine approximate next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) corrections to unpolarized and polarized semi-inclusive DIS. They are derived using the threshold resummation formalism, which we fully develop to next-to-next-to-leading…

We derive the hard functions for all 2->2 processes in massless QCD up to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in the strong coupling constant. By employing the known one- and two-loop helicity amplitudes for these processes, we obtain…
This article discusses the occurences of one-loop amplitudes within a next-to-next-to-leading order calculation. In an NNLO calculation the one-loop amplitude enters squared and one would therefore naively expect that the O(epsilon)- and…
