Massive Loop Amplitudes from Unitarity
نویسنده
چکیده
We show, for previously uncalculated examples containing a uniform mass in the loop, that it is possible to obtain complete massive one-loop gauge theory amplitudes solely from unitarity and known ultraviolet or infrared mass singularities. In particular, we calculate four-gluon scattering via massive quark loops in QCD. The contribution of a heavy quark to five-gluon scattering with identical helicities is also presented. 1 Email address: [email protected] 2 Email address: [email protected]

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

متن کاملDirect Extraction Of One Loop Rational Terms
We present a method for the direct extraction of rational contributions to one-loop scattering amplitudes, missed by standard four-dimensional unitarity techniques. Working in D = 4 − 2ǫ dimensions, we interpret the dependence on the additional dimensions as equivalent to introducing an internal mass. We combine this with the use of generalised unitarity to write the loop amplitudes in terms of...
متن کاملAlgebraic evaluation of rational polynomials in one-loop amplitudes
One-loop amplitudes are to a large extent determined by their unitarity cuts in four dimensions. We show that the remaining rational terms can be obtained from the ultraviolet behaviour of the amplitude, and determine universal form factors for these rational parts by applying reduction techniques to the Feynman diagrammatic representation of the amplitude. The method is valid for massless and ...
متن کاملMHV One-Loop Amplitudes in Yang-Mills from Generalised Unitarity
In this letter, we exploit generalised unitarity in order to calculate the cut-constructible part of one-loop amplitudes in non-supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. In particular, we rederive the n-gluon MHV amplitudes for both the adjacent and non-adjacent gluon helicity configurations from 3and 4-particle cuts alone. {a.brandhuber, m.vincon}@qmul.ac.uk
