Reduction of multi-leg loop integrals
نویسنده
چکیده
I give an efficient algorithm for the reduction of multi-leg one-loop integrals of rank one. The method combines the basic ideas of the spinor algebra approach with the dual vector approach and is applicable to box integrals or higher point integrals, if at least one external leg is massless. This method does not introduce Gram determinants in the denominator. It completes an algorithm recently given by R. Pittau. PACS : 12.38.Bx, 11.15.Bt

A simple method for multi-leg loop calculations 2: a general algorithm
The method introduced in a previous paper to simplify the tensorial reduction in multi-leg loop calculations is extended to generic one-loop integrals, with arbitrary internal masses and external momenta. CERN-TH/97-372 December 1997
متن کاملA simple method for multi-leg loop calculations
A simple algorithm is presented for the tensorial reduction of oneloop diagrams with massless external momenta. At most rank one tensor integrals with the initial number of denominators appear, plus, eventually, higher rank integrals with less denominators. The number of Gram determinants in the tensorial decomposition is then reduced, giving a better numerical stability of the results. In some...
متن کاملNew Methods for the Calculation of Multi-Loop Amplitudes
In the era of the LHC and in preparation for the ILC there is need for multi-loop calculations to match the precision of these experiments from the theory side. The classes of problems currently accessible reach from multi-leg multi-scale problems at one-loop up to no-scale propagator, and tadpole diagrams at four-loop level. Many problems fall into these categories directly while others can be...
متن کاملReduction formalism for dimensionally regulated one - loop N - point integrals
We consider one-loop scalar and tensor integrals with an arbitrary number of external legs relevant for multi-parton processes in massless theories. We present a procedure to reduce N-point scalar functions with generic 4-dimensional external momenta to box integrals in (4 − 2ǫ) dimensions. We derive a formula valid for arbitrary N and give an explicit expression for N = 6. Further a tensor red...
متن کاملUsing differential equations to compute two-loop box integrals
The calculation of exclusive observables beyond the one-loop level requires elaborate techniques for the computation of multi-leg two-loop integrals. We discuss how the large number of different integrals appearing in actual two-loop calculations can be reduced to a small number of master integrals. An efficient method to compute these master integrals is to derive and solve differential equati...
