چکیده
We briefly describe a new general algorithm for carrying out QCD calculations to next-to-leading order in perturbation theory. The algorithm can be used for computing arbitrary jet cross sections in arbitrary processes and can be straightforwardly implemented in general purpose Monte Carlo programs. We show numerical results for the specific case of jet cross sections in deep inelastic scattering. CERN-TH/96-239 September 1996 Invited talk presented by S.

متن کاملThe Dipole Formalism for the Calculation of QCD Jet Cross Sections at Next-to-Leading Order
In order to make quantitative predictions for jet cross sections in perturbative QCD, it is essential to calculate them to next-to-leading accuracy. This has traditionally been an extremely laborious process. Using a new formalism, imaginatively called the dipole formalism, we are able to construct a completely general algorithm for next-to-leading order calculations of arbitrary jet quantities...
متن کاملA General Algorithm for Calculating Jet Cross Sections in NLO QCD
We present a new general algorithm for calculating arbitrary jet cross sections in arbitrary scattering processes to next-to-leading accuracy in perturbative QCD. The algorithm is based on the subtraction method. The key ingredients are new factorization formulae, called dipole formulae, which implement in a Lorentz covariant way both the usual soft and collinear approximations, smoothly interp...
متن کاملDipole formalism with heavy fermions
We extend the dipole formalism of Catani and Seymour to QCD processes involving heavy fermions. We give the appropriate subtraction terms together with their integrated counterpart. All calculations are done within dimensional regularization. Our formulae can be used with three variants of dimensional regularization (conventional dimensional regularization, the ’t Hooft-Veltman scheme or the fo...
متن کاملAutomating dipole subtraction for QCD NLO calculations
In this publication the construction of an automatic algorithm to subtract infrared divergences in real QCD corrections through the Catani-Seymour dipole subtraction method [1] is reported. The resulting computer code has been implemented in the matrix element generator AMEGIC++ [2]. This will allow for the automatic generation of dipole subtraction terms and their integrals over the oneparton ...
