We study Feynman rules for the rational part $R$ of the Standard Model amplitudes at one-loop level in the 't Hooft-Veltman $\gamma_5$ scheme. Comparing our results for quantum chromodynamics and electroweak 1-loop amplitudes with that…

The evaluation of loop amplitudes via differential equations and harmonic polylogarithms is discussed at an introductory level. The method is based on evolution equations in the masses or in the external kinematical invariants and on a…

We present an extension of the spinor integration formalism of one loop amplitudes from the double-cut to the single-cut case. This technique can be applied for the computation of the tadpole coefficients. Moreover we describe an off-shell…

Fully differential next-to-next-to-leading order calculations require a method to cancel infrared singularities. In a previous publication, I discussed the general setup for the subtraction method at NNLO. In this paper I give all…
We compute the simplest one-loop planar amplitudes in Higgsed ABJM theory at a generic point of the moduli space. We explicitly check that they can be expressed in terms of integrals which are invariant under dual conformal symmetry…
We present a simple method which simplifies the evaluation of the on-shell multiple box diagrams reducing them to triangle type ones. For the $L$-loop diagram one gets the expression in terms of Feynman parameters with $2L$-fold…
We suggest a new approach for the automatic and fully numerical evaluation of one-loop scattering amplitudes in perturbative quantum field theory. We use suitably formulated dispersion relations to perform the calculation as a convolution…
It is explained how first-quantized worldline path integrals can be used as an efficient alternative to Feynman diagrams in the calculation of QED amplitudes and effective actions. The examples include the one-loop photon splitting…
Soft and collinear factorisations can be used to construct expressions for amplitudes in theories of gravity. We generalise the "half-soft" functions used previously to "soft-lifting" functions and use these to generate tree and one-loop…
We consider one-loop amplitudes of a Higgs boson coupled to gluons in the limit of a large top quark mass. We treat the Higgs as the real part of a complex field phi that couples to the self-dual field strengths and compute the one-loop…
We develop a polynomial reduction procedure that transforms any gauge fixed CHY amplitude integrand for $n$ scattering particles into a $\sigma$-moduli multivariate polynomial of what we call the $\textit{standard form}$. We show that a…
In this paper, we propose a new method for evaluating scalar one-loop Feynman integrals in generalized D-dimension. The calculations play an important building block for two-loop and higher-loop corrections to the processes at future…
