We calculate in the framework of collinear factorization the amplitude for the photoproduction of a near forward large mass diphoton at leading twist and next to leading order (NLO) in $\alpha_s$. We demonstrate the validity of…

I review the factorisation properties of tree level amplitudes when three particles $i$, $j$, $k$ are collinear. The triple collinear splitting functions contain both iterated single unresolved contributions, and genuine double unresolved…

We study scattering amplitudes and form factors in planar $\mathcal{N}=4$ Super Yang-Mills theory in the limit where two pairs of gluons become collinear. We find that, when the virtualities of both collinear pairs are spacelike, the…
