We compute the master integrals for massless two-loop vertex graphs with three off-shell legs. These master integrals are relevant for the QCD corrections to H to V*V* (where V = W, Z) and for two-loop studies of the triple gluon (and…

We propose a novel method to compute multi-loop master integrals by constructing and numerically solving a system of ordinary differential equations, with almost trivial boundary conditions. Thus it can be systematically applied to problems…
A critical subject in fully differential QED calculations originates from numerical instabilities due to small fermion masses that act as regulators of collinear singularities. At next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) a major challenge is…
We determine the master integrals for vertex and propagator diagrams that appear in effective field theories containing heavy fields. The integrals involve at least one heavy line, and the standard lines include an arbitrary mass scale. The…
This is a short review of recent developments in calculation of higher order corrections to various two-point correlators and related quantities in (massless) QCD.
Recent results for higher-order corrections to the relation between the vector-boson masses in the Standard Model and Supersymmetry are summarized. In the Standard Model, the Higgs-mass dependence of the two-loop contributions to Delta r is…
With the advent of generalized unitarity and parametric integration techniques, the construction of a generic Next-to-Leading Order Monte Carlo becomes feasible. Such a generator will entail the treatment of QCD color in the amplitudes. We…
