SecRed: A program for sector-wise IBP reduction of Feynman integrals

SecRed is a C++ program for the reduction of multi-loop Feynman integrals with integration-by-parts (IBP) identities. It reduces an integral family sector by sector for memory control and parallelism, and adds algorithms designed for that setting: an adaptive seed box with a corner cut, an optional seed truncation, a subsector level filter, and symmetry relations expanded only from the master integrals of a sector. A global stage assembles the retained equations and performs the finite-field reconstruction of the coefficients using FiniteFlow or FireFly, repeating the elimination over a sequence of primes. On the elimination side, a coefficient-free plan records the elimination order once and is replayed at each prime, so that only the arithmetic is repeated, and a head score orders the equations to reduce fill-in during the elimination. The program is demonstrated on a two-loop five-point non-planar family and on a four-loop cut family, where assembling the global equation system as a whole would exceed the memory of a single node.

Complete Next-to-Next-to-Leading-Order QCD Correction to $J/ψ\to 3γ$ Decay

We address the long-standing problem of negative decay and production rates in perturbative QCD for exclusive processes by proposing amplitude-level NRQCD factorization as a systematic prescription. Building on this, we present the first complete next-to-next-to-leading-order (NNLO) QCD correction to the decay $J/ψ\to 3γ$. The resulting partial width, $Γ(J/ψ\to 3γ) = 0.96^{+4.32}_{-0.13}$ eV, combines this NNLO contribution with the known up to $\mathcal{O}(α_s v^2)$ relativistic correction and shows markedly improved agreement with the high-precision BESIII measurement. In the same way, $Γ(Υ\to 3γ) = 0.0086^{+0.0028}_{-0.0006}$ eV is obtained. The dominant theoretical uncertainty originates from the renormalization scale variation, underscoring the challenge of perturbative convergence at this order and the necessity for future higher-order calculations.
