We present a semi-numerical method to compute one-loop corrections to processes involving many particles. We treat in detail cases with up to five external legs and massless internal propagators, although the method is more general.
In this paper we apply the usual perturbative methodology to evaluate the one-loop effective potential in a nonlocal scalar field theory. We find that the effect induced by the nonlocaliity of the theory is always very small and we discuss…
