On-shell methods in perturbative QCD
From MaRDI portal
Publication:2373808
Abstract: We review on-shell methods for computing multi-parton scattering amplitudes in perturbative QCD, utilizing their unitarity and factorization properties. We focus on aspects which are useful for the construction of one-loop amplitudes needed for phenomenological studies at the Large Hadron Collider.
The review is organized as follows. In Section 2 the authors describe how the use of complex momenta is intrinsic to on-shell methods and focus on techniques for separating and simplifying the kinematic behavior. In Section 3 the BCFW on-shell recursion relations for tree amplitudes is reviewed. The authors turn to one-loop amplitudes in Section 4, where the unitary-based method and some recent improvements are described. In Section 5 it is shown how on-shell recursion is an efficient way to construct rational terms in one-loop amplitudes. The conclusions in Section 6 are given and comment on the prospects for evaluating new amplitudes of phenomenological interest at the Large Hadron Collider with these methods. The techniques described in the review can be applied directly to process involving quarks and external vector bosons. The authors anticipate that the on-shell methods described in the review will, with further development, be widely applicable to the higher-multiplicity amplitudes required for next-to-leading order computations of phenomenological interest at the LHC.
