We propose a procedure to determine the moduli-space integrands of loop-level superstring amplitudes for massless external states in terms of the field theory limit. We focus on the type II superstring. The procedure is to: (i) take a…

Are perturbative superstring amplitudes for massless external states just an $\alpha'$ dressing of super-Yang-Mills/supergravity? This is the case at tree level, where the worldsheet correlators at $n$ points can be written in a natural…
