Nine-Propagator Master Integrals for Massless Three-Loop Form Factors

چکیده
We complete the calculation of master integrals for massless three-loop form factors by computing the previously-unknown three diagrams with nine propagators in dimensional regularisation. Each of the integrals yields a six-fold Mellin-Barnes representation which we use to compute the coefficients of the Laurent expansion in ǫ. Using Riemann ζ functions of up to weight six, we give fully analytic results for one integral; for a second, analytic results for all but the finite term; for the third, analytic results for all but the last two coefficients in the Laurent expansion. The remaining coefficients are given numerically to sufficiently high accuracy for phenomenological applications.

Master Integrals for Massless Three-Loop Form Factors: One-Loop and Two-Loop Insertions
The three-loop form factors in massless QCD can be expressed as a linear combination of master integrals. Besides a number of master integrals which factorise into products of one-loop and two-loop integrals, one finds 16 genuine three-loop integrals. Of these, six have the form of a bubble insertion inside a one-loop or two-loop vertex integral. We compute all master integrals with these inser...
متن کاملThree-loop results in HQET
Two-loop HQET propagator diagrams were reduced [1] to two master integrals, using integration by parts [2] identities. There are 10 generic topologies of three-loop HQET propagator diagrams (Fig. 1). They can be reduced [3], using integration by parts relations, to 8 master integrals (Fig. 2). The algorithm has been constructed by hand, and implemented as a REDUCE package Grinder [3]. It is ana...
متن کاملMaster Integrals for Fermionic Contributions to Massless Three-Loop Form Factors
In this letter we continue the calculation of master integrals for massless three-loop form factors by giving analytical results for those integrals which are relevant for the fermionic contributions proportional toN F , NF ·N , andNF /N . Working in dimensional regularisation, we express one of the integrals in a closed form which is exact to all orders in ǫ, containing Γ-functions and hyperge...

متن کاملMaster integrals with one massive propagator for the two - loop electroweak form factor
We compute the master integrals containing one massive propagator entering the two-loop electroweak form factor, i.e. the process f ¯ f → X, where f ¯ f is an on-shell massless fermion pair and X is a singlet particle under SU (2) L × U (1) Y , such as a virtual gluon or an hypothetical Z ′. The method used is that of the differential equation in the evolution variable x = −s/m 2 , where s is t...
