We introduce a formalism for describing four-dimensional scattering amplitudes for particles of any mass and spin. This naturally extends the familiar spinor-helicity formalism for massless particles to one where these variables carry an…
Processes involving electroweak vector bosons in association with jets are crucial for precision studies of the Standard Model at the Large Hadron Collider. Accurate predictions for the process $pp\rightarrow V(\rightarrow\bar\ell\ell)jj$…
We present definitions and formulas that may be useful for a consistent computation of helicity amplitudes for the process gamma* N -> N* in theoretical approaches. Of particular importance is the correct determination of the common sign of…
We show some new applications of on-shell methods to calculate compact helicity amplitudes for t tbar production through gluon fusion. The rational and mass renormalisation contributions are extracted from two independent Feynman diagram…
We present recent advancements in the computation of three-loop four-particle helicity amplitudes in full-color massless QCD. In this contribution, we focus on the $gg \to \gamma\gamma$ process. We show how to obtain compact analytic…
We study QCD helicity amplitudes with an arbitrary number of (massive) quarks, keeping unobserved (loop) particles in fixed integer $D_s$ dimensions. We find a suitable embedding of external four-dimensional fermion states into higher…
Helicity amplitudes calculations with the program PHACT are explained. Some examples of their application in WPHACT and SIXPHACT MC's are given.
Recently, an extension of the BCFW on-shell recursion relation suitable to compute gauge invariant scattering amplitudes with off-shell particles has been presented for Yang-Mills theories with fermions. In particular, 4- and 5-point…
Manifestly Lorentz covariant Feynman rules are given in terms of a "scalar" field for each helicity, dramatically simplifying the calculation of amplitudes with massless particles. The spinor helicity formalism is properly identified as a…
The paper presents the new method of calculations of reaction amplitudes of processes with spin 1/2 fermions. The method is based on the application of isotropic tetrad in Minkowski space and basis spinors connected with it. We obtained as…
The production of massive quarks and leptons in $e^+e^-$ collisions is studied using exact helicity amplitudes. Total cross sections as a function of $y_{\rm cut}$, in both the JADE and the $k_T$ algorithms, are presented and compared with…
We develop a method to calculate helicity amplitudes of an arbitrary tree-level process in Feynman-Diagram (FD) gauge for an arbitrary gauge model with MadGraph5_aMC@NLO. We start from the 't Hooft-Feynman gauge Lagrangian in FeynRules and…
We present an alternative method to calculate cross sections for multi-parton scattering processes in the Standard Model at leading order. The helicity amplitudes are computed using recursion relations in the number of particles, based on…
We examine recent advancements of the spinor helicity formalism of massive particles. Technical aspects about the formulation of massive helicity spinors are presented in detail to analyze the projective-geometry kinematics of helicity…
We summarise recent progress in the computation of helicity amplitudes for diffractive vector meson production at large momentum transfer and their comparison to data collected at the HERA collider.
We compute the two-loop QCD helicity amplitudes for the process e^+e^- --> q bar{q} g. The amplitudes are extracted in a scheme-independent manner from the coefficients appearing in the general tensorial structure for this process. The…
We derive the two-loop QCD helicity amplitudes for the processes $l q \to l qg$ ($l \bar q \to l \bar q g$) and $l g \to l q\bar q$, which are the partonic reactions yielding $(2+1)$-jet final states in deep inelastic lepton nucleon…
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 $\textrm{QED}^{\caln =1}$ theories. We will see the origin of…
The spinor-helicity formalism has become an invaluable tool for understanding the S-matrix of massless particles in four dimensions. In this paper we construct a spinor-helicity formalism in six dimensions, and apply it to derive compact…
Basing on the Slavnov-Taylor identities, we derive a new prescription to obtain gauge invariant tree-level scattering amplitudes for the process g*g->Ng within high energy factorization. Using the helicity method, we check the formalism up…
