Feynman Rules for the Rational Part of the QCD 1-loop amplitudes

We compute the complete set of Feynman Rules producing the Rational Terms of kind R_2 needed to perform any QCD 1-loop calculation. We also explicitly check that in order to account for the entire R_2 contribution, even in case of processes with more than four external legs, only up to four-point vertices are needed. Our results are expressed both in the 't Hooft Veltman regularization scheme and in the Four Dimensional Helicity scheme, using explicit color configurations as well as the color connection language.

Recursive equations for arbitrary scattering processes

The usefulness of recursive equations to compute scattering matrix elements for arbitrary processes is discussed. Explicit results at tree and one-loop order, obtained by the HELAC/PHEGAS package that is based on the Dyson-Schwinger recursive equations approach, are briefly presented.

Recursive actions for scalar theories

We introduce a class of self-interacting scalar theories in which the various coupling contants obey a recursive relation. These imply a particularly simple form for the generating function of the Feynman amplitudes with vanishing external momenta, as well as for the effective potential. In addition we discuss an interesting duality inherent in these models. Specializing to the case of zero spacetime dimensions we find intriguing nullification properties for the amplitudes.

SARGE: an algorithm for generating QCD-antennas

We present an algorithm to generate any number of random massless momenta in phase space, with a distribution that contains the kinematical pole structure that is typically found in multi-parton QCD-processes. As an application, we calculate the cross-section of some \eplus\eminus \to partons processes, and compare SARGE's performance with that of the uniform-phase space generator RAMBO.

On the computation of multigluon amplitudes

A computational algorithm based on recursive equations is developed in order to estimate multigluon production processes at high energy hadron colliders. The partonic reactions gg->(n-2)g with n up to n=9 are studied and comparisons with known approximations are presented.
