Abstract
In dimensional regularization with , the minimal subtraction (MS) scheme is characterized by counterterms that only consist of singular terms in . We develop a general method to compute the infinite sums of massless ladder or rainbow Feynman integrals in MS at . Our method is based on relating the MS-solution to a kinematic solution at a coupling-dependent renormalization point. If the -dependent Mellin transform of the kernel diagram of the insertions can be computed in closed form, we typically obtain a closed form expression for the all-order solution in MS. As examples, we consider Yukawa theory and theory in , and theory in .
