One-loop Single Real Emission Contributions to Inclusive Higgs Production at NNNLO

One-loop single-real-emission contributions toat next-to-next-to-next-to-leading orderI compute the contributions of the one-loop single-real-emission amplitudes, $gg$\rightarrow${}Hg$, $qg$\rightarrow${}Hq$, etc., to inclusive Higgs boson production through next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (${\mathrm{N}}^{3}\mathrm{LO}$) in the strong coupling ${$\alpha${}}_{s}$. The next-to-leading and next-to-next-to-leading order terms are computed in closed form, in terms of $\mathrm{$\Gamma${}}$ functions and the hypergeometric functions $_{2}{F}_{1}$ and $_{3}{F}_{2}$. I compute the ${\mathrm{N}}^{3}\mathrm{LO}$ terms as Laurent expansions in the dimensional regularization parameter through order $({ϵ}^{1})$. To obtain the ${\mathrm{N}}^{3}\mathrm{LO}$ terms, I perform an extended threshold expansion of the phase space integrals and map the resulting coefficients onto a basis of harmonic polylogarithms.- 8 April 2014

The Two-Loop Infrared Structure of Amplitudes with Mixed Gauge Groups
The infrared structure of (multi-loop) scattering amplitudes is determined entirely by the identities of the external particles participating in the scattering. The two-loop infrared structure of pure \qcd\ amplitudes has been known for some time. By computing the two-loop amplitudes for $\bar{f}\,f\longrightarrow X$ and $\bar{f}\,f\longrightarrow V_1\,V_2$ scattering in an $SU(N)\times SU(M)\times U(1)$ gauge theory, I determine the anomalous dimensions which govern the infrared structure for any massless two-loop amplitude.Open AccessThe Two-Loop Infrared Structure of Amplitudes with Mixed Gauge Groups

Four dimensional helicity scheme beyond one loop
I describe a procedure by which one can transform scattering amplitudes computed in the four-dimensional helicity scheme into properly renormalized amplitudes in the 't Hooft-Veltman scheme. I describe a new renormalization program, based upon that of the dimensional reduction scheme and explain how to remove both finite and infrared-singular contributions of the evanescent degrees of freedom to the scattering amplitude.

Regularization schemes and higher order corrections
I apply commonly used regularization schemes to a multiloop calculation to examine the properties of the schemes at higher orders. I find complete consistency between the conventional dimensional regularization scheme and dimensional reduction, but I find that the four-dimensional helicity scheme produces incorrect results at next-to-next-to-leading order and singular results at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order. It is not, therefore, a unitary regularization scheme.

Two-loop virtual corrections to Drell-Yan production at orderThe Drell-Yan mechanism for the production of lepton pairs is one of the most basic processes for physics studies at hadron colliders. It is therefore important to have accurate theoretical predictions. In this work we compute the two-loop virtual mixed $\mathrm{QCD}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}\mathrm{QED}$ corrections to Drell-Yan production. We evaluate the Feynman diagrams by decomposing the amplitudes into a set of known master integrals and their coefficients, which allows us to derive an analytical result. We also perform a detailed study of the ultraviolet and infrared structure of the two-loop amplitude and the corresponding poles in $$\epsilon${}$. Using crossing symmetry, we also determine the corresponding two-loop result for deep inelastic scattering.- 14 February 2012
