Threshold expansion of Feynman diagrams within a configuration space technique
نویسنده
چکیده
The near threshold expansion of generalized sunset-type (water melon) diagrams with arbitrary masses is constructed by using a configuration space technique. We present analytical expressions for the expansion of the spectral density near threshold and compare it with the exact expression obtained earlier using the method of the Hankel transform. We formulate a generalized threshold expansion with partial resummation of the small mass corrections for the strongly asymmetric case where one particle in the intermediate state is much lighter than the others.

Calculation of Momentum Space Integrals
In the last chapter we have shown that the problem of determining the counterterms in φ 4-theory can be reduced completely to the calculation of massless Feynman integrals in momentum space. Among these, the massless propagator-type integrals generated by the technique of infrared rearrangement in Section 12.2 can be calculated most easily by algebraic methods. The result of a successive applic...

متن کاملOn the evaluation of sunset-type Feynman diagrams
We introduce an efficient configuration space technique which allows one to compute a class of Feynman diagrams which generalize the scalar sunset topology to any number of massive internal lines. General tensor vertex structures and modifications of the propagators due to particle emission with vanishing momenta can be included with only a little change of the basic technique described for the...
متن کاملEvaluating multi-loop Feynman diagrams with infrared and threshold singularities numerically
We present a method to evaluate numerically Feynman diagrams directly from their Feynman parameters representation. We first disentangle overlapping singularities using sector decomposition. Threshold singularities are treated with an appropriate contour deformation. We have validated our technique comparing with recent analytic results for the gg → h two-loop amplitudes with heavy quarks and s...
