An introduction to on-shell recursion relations

B Feng, M Luo - Frontiers of Physics, 2012 - Springer
This article provides an introduction to on-shell recursion relations for calculations of tree-
level amplitudes. Starting with the basics, such as spinor notations and color …

Cut-constructible part of QCD amplitudes

R Britto, B Feng, P Mastrolia - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation …, 2006 - APS
Unitarity cuts are widely used in analytic computation of loop amplitudes in gauge theories
such as QCD. We expand upon the technique introduced in hep-ph/0503132 to carry out …

Bootstrapping one-loop QCD amplitudes with general helicities

CF Berger, Z Bern, LJ Dixon, D Forde… - Physical Review D …, 2006 - APS
The recently developed on-shell bootstrap for computing one-loop amplitudes in
nonsupersymmetric theories such as QCD combines the unitarity method with loop-level on …

On-shell recursion relations for all Born QCD amplitudes

C Schwinn, S Weinzierl - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
We consider on-shell recursion relations for all Born QCD amplitudes. This includes
amplitudes with several pairs of quarks and massive quarks. We give a detailed description …

SUSY ward identities for multi-gluon helicity amplitudes with massive quarks

C Schwinn, S Weinzierl - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2006 - iopscience.iop.org
We use supersymmetric Ward identities to relate multi-gluon helicity amplitudes involving a
pair of massive quarks to amplitudes with massive scalars. This allows to use the recent …

Scattering amplitudes with massive fermions using BCFW recursion

KJ Ozeren, WJ Stirling - The European Physical Journal C-Particles and …, 2006 - Springer
We study the QCD scattering amplitudes for ̄qq→gg and ̄qq→ggg where q is a massive
fermion. Using a particular choice of massive fermion spinor we derive compact expressions …

The rational parts of one-loop QCD amplitudes I: The general formalism

ZG Xiao, G Yang, CJ Zhu - Nuclear Physics B, 2006 - Elsevier
A general formalism for computing only the rational parts of one-loop QCD amplitudes is
developed. Starting from the Feynman integral representation of the one-loop amplitude, we …

Determination of boundary contributions in recursion relation

B Feng, K Zhou, C Qiao, J Rao - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2015 - Springer
A bstract In this paper, we propose a new algorithm to systematically determine the missing
boundary contributions, when one uses the BCFW on-shell recursion relation to calculate …
