Reduction of one - loop tensor 5 - point integrals

چکیده
A new method for the reduction of one-loop tensor 5-point integrals to related 4-point integrals is proposed. In contrast to the usual Passarino–Veltman reduction and other methods used in the literature, this reduction avoids the occurrence of inverse Gram determinants, which potentially cause severe numerical instabilities in practical calculations. Explicit results for the 5-point tensor coefficients are presented up to rank 4. The expressions for the reduction of the relevant 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-point tensor coefficients to scalar integrals are also included; apart from these standard integrals no other integrals are needed.

Reduction 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 کاملReduction schemes for one - loop tensor integrals
We present new methods for the evaluation of one-loop tensor integrals which have been used in the calculation of the complete electroweak one-loop corrections to e + e − → 4 fermions. The described methods for 3-point and 4-point integrals are, in particular, applicable in the case where the conventional Passarino–Veltman reduction breaks down owing to the appearance of Gram determinants in th...

We briefly sketch the methods for a numerically stable evaluation of tensor one-loop integrals that have been used in the calculation of the complete electroweak one-loop corrections to e + e − → 4 fermions. In particular, the improvement of the new methods over the conventional Passarino–Veltman reduction is illustrated for some 4-point integrals in the delicate limits of small Gram (and other...
متن کاملNew results for loop integrals: AMBRE, CSectors, hexagon
We report on the three Mathematica packages hexagon, CSectors, AMBRE. They are useful for the evaluation of oneand two-loop Feynman integrals with a dependence on several kinematical scales. These integrals are typically needed for LHC and ILC applications, but also for higher order corrections at meson factories. hexagon is a new package for the tensor reduction of one-loop 5-point and 6-point...
متن کاملReduction method for dimensionally regulated one-loop N-point Feynman integrals
We present a systematic method for reducing an arbitrary one−loop N(≥ 5)−point massless Feynman integral with generic 4−dimensional momenta to a set comprised of eight fundamental scalar integrals: six box integrals in D = 6, a triangle integral in D = 4, and a general two−point integral in D = 4 + 2ε space time dimensions. All IR divergences present in the original integral are contained in th...
