In this paper, we show how to calculate analytically the one-loop helicity amplitudes for the process $q\bar{q} rightarrow t\bar{t}$ induced by KK gluon, using the spinor-helicity formalism. A minimal set of Feynman rules which are uniquely…
We present novel techniques for the computation of three-loop four-parton scattering amplitudes in full color, non-planar gauge theories. We elaborate on how the analytic results for these amplitudes can be used to confirm the conjectured…
The amplitude for the collision of two hadrons with the lowest order pomeron loop is calculated. Numerical calculations show that the loop contribution to the amplitude begins to dominate the single pomeron exchange at rapidities 8-10. Full…
The analytical calculation of helicity amplitudes for hard photon and gluon bremsstrahlung radiation are described using the spinor formalism for processes of the type $\bar{q} q \to g \gamma$ and $q g \to q \gamma$. The presented…

We present on the use of on-shell recursion relations. These can be used not only for calculating tree amplitudes, including those with masses, but also to compute analytically the missing rational terms of one-loop QCD amplitudes. Combined…
We discuss the structure of infrared and ultraviolet singularities in on-shell QCD and supersymmetric QCD amplitudes at one-loop order. Previous results, valid for massless partons, are extended to the case of massive partons. Using…
I survey a number of interesting tests of quantum chromodynamics at the amplitude level which can be carried out in electron-positron annihilation and in photon-photon collisions at low energy, including measurements of fundamental…
We use the worldline formalism to derive master formulas for the one-loop N-photon amplitudes in a plane-wave background, for both scalar and spinor QED. This generalises previous work by Ilderton and Torgrimsson for the vacuum polarisation…
We extend the Operator Product Expansion (OPE) for scattering amplitudes in planar N=4 SYM to account for all possible helicities of the external states. This is done by constructing a simple map between helicity configurations and…
In this work, we express the singular part of a scattering amplitude in terms of Feynman integrals compatible with topologies appearing in the bare amplitude, and we choose a basis of locally finite Master Integrals. In two-loop massless…
The decomposition of a one-loop scattering amplitude into elementary functions with rational coefficients introduces spurious singularities which afflict individual coefficients but cancel in the complete amplitude. These cancellations…
Generalised unitarity techniques are used to calculate the coefficients of box and triangle integral functions of one-loop gluon scattering amplitudes in gauge theories with $N < 4$ supersymmetries. We show that the box coefficients in N=1…
We present exact tree-order amplitudes for $H^* \to n~H$, for final states containing one or two particles with non-zero three-momentum, for various interaction potentials. We show that there are potentials leading to tree amplitudes that…
The numerical unitarity approach has been important for obtaining reliable QCD predictions for the LHC. Here I discuss the extension of the approach beyond the leading quantum corrections for computing multi-loop amplitudes. The numerical…
