Completely Automated Calculations of Multi-loop Diagrams
نویسنده
چکیده
The computation of higher order processes very often involves a large number of diagrams. In addition, it is in general not possible to solve the occurring integrals explicitly and expansions in small quantities have to be performed. This makes it necessary to automate the calculations as much as possible. A program package will be described which generates automatically the Feynman diagrams, manipulates the expressions in the desired way and performs the computation. As a physical application O(ααs) corrections to the decay rate of the Z boson into bottom quarks are discussed.

Automated one-loop calculations with GoSam
In this talk, the program package GOSAM is presented which can be used for the automated calculation of one-loop amplitudes for multi-particle processes. The integrands are generated in terms of Feynman diagrams and can be reduced by d-dimensional integrand-level decomposition, or tensor reduction, or a combination of both. Through various examples we show that GOSAM can produce one-loop amplit...
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 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 کاملSupersymmetric Yang-Mills Theory
We present a full two-loop O(g6) perturbative field theoretic calculation of the expectation value of two circular Maldacena-Wilson loops in D = 4 N = 4 supersymmetric U(N) gauge theory. It is demonstrated that, after taking into account very subtle cancellations of bulk and boundary divergences, the result is completely finite without any renormalization. As opposed to previous lower order cal...
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...
