Numerical calculation of massive multi-loop integrals
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 program is publicly available at http://secdec.hepforge.org.

A new method for the calculation of massive multiloop diagrams
Starting from the parametric representation of a Feynman diagram, we obtain it’s well defined value in dimensional regularisation by changing the integrals over parameters into contour integrals. That way we eventually arrive at a representation consisting of well-defined compact integrals. The result is a simple transformation of the integrand which gives the analytic continuation of a wide cl...
متن کاملAn algebraic/numerical formalism for one-loop multi-leg amplitudes
We present a formalism for the calculation of multi-particle one-loop amplitudes, valid for an arbitrary number N of external legs, and for massive as well as massless particles. A new method for the tensor reduction is suggested which naturally isolates infrared divergences by construction. We prove that for N ≥ 5, higher dimensional integrals can be avoided. We derive many useful relations wh...
متن کاملDimensionally regularized one - loop tensor - integrals with massless internal particles
A set of one-loop vertex and box tensor-integrals with massless internal particles has been obtained directly without any reduction method to scalar-integrals. The results with one or two massive external lines for the vertex integral and zero or one massive external lines for the box integral are shown in this report. Dimensional regularization is employed to treat any soft and collinear (IR) ...

Golem95: a numerical program to calculate one-loop tensor integrals with up to six external legs Abstract We present a program for the numerical evaluation of form factors entering the calculation of one-loop amplitudes with up to six external legs. The program is written in Fortran95 and performs the reduction to a certain set of basis integrals numerically, using a formalism where inverse Gra...
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...
