Direct numerical evaluation of multi-loop integrals without contour deformation

چکیده
We propose a method for computing numerically integrals defined via $i \epsilon$ deformations acting on single-pole singularities. achieve this without an explicit analytic contour deformation. Our solution is then used to produce precise Monte Carlo estimates of multi-scale multi-loop directly in Minkowski space. corroborate the validity our strategy by presenting several examples ranging from one three loops. When connection with four-dimensional regularization techniques, treatment can be extended ultraviolet and infrared divergent integrals.

Numerical contour integration for loop integrals
A fully numerical method to calculate loop integrals, a numerical contour-integration method, is proposed. Loop integrals can be interpreted as a contour integral in a complex plane for an integrand with multi-poles in the plane. Stable and efficient numerical integrations an along appropriate contour can be performed for tensor integrals as well as for scalar ones appearing in loop calculation...
متن کاملNumerical evaluation of multi-loop integrals by sector decomposition
In a recent paper [1] we have presented an automated subtraction method for divergent multi-loop/leg integrals in dimensional regularisation which allows for their numerical evaluation, and applied it to diagrams with massless internal lines. Here we show how to extend this algorithm to Feynman diagrams with massive propagators and arbitrary propagator powers. As applications, we present numeri...
متن کاملNumerical calculation of massive multi-loop integrals
The program package SECDEC is presented, allowing the numerical evaluation of multi-loop integrals. The restriction to Euclidean kinematics of version 1.0 has been lifted: thresholds can be handled by an automated deformation of the integration contour into the complex plane. Other new features of the program, which go beyond the standard decomposition of loop integrals, are also described. The...
متن کاملNumerical Evaluation of Wiener Integrals
Here, Jc F[x]w(dx) denotes the Wiener integral, and / F[0(u, ■ )]v(du) denotes an integral over some Euclidean space. In [1] Cameron determined a pair (v, 0) by imposing on (1.2) the condition that the formula be exact for polynomial functionals of degree ^3. Imposing the same requirement, Vladimirov [5] constructed a family of pairs (v, 6). In this paper we shall develop a class of approximati...
متن کاملNumerical Evaluation of Diffraction Integrals
This paper describes a simple numerical integration method for diffraction integrals which is based on elementary geometrical considerations of the manner in which different portions of the incident wavefront contribute to the diffracted field. The method is applicable in a wide range of cases as the assumptions regarding the type of integral are minimal, and the results are accurate even when ...
