Light-by-light scattering amplitudes from generalized unitarity in massive QED

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-02-02 v3

Abstract

We calculate all the four-photon helicity amplitudes at the one-loop level in a massive theory using multiple-cut methods. The amplitudes are derived in scalar QED, QED and QED\caln=1\textrm{QED}^{\caln =1} theories. We will see the origin of rational terms. We extend the calculation to the simplest six-photon helicity amplitude where all photons have the same helicity.
