Event details
The idea of constructing scattering amplitudes from their singularities has been a very powerful method for their computation. We introduce the principle of Cluster Adjacency, which governs the analytic structure of amplitudes at tree and loop level. We use this to compute the NMHV scattering amplitude of seven particles in N=4 super Yang-Mills at four loops.
About Particle Physics Theory seminars
The Particle Physics Theory seminar is a weekly series of talks reflecting the diverse interests of the group. Topics include analytic and numerical calculations based on the Standard Model of elementary particle physics, theories exploring new physics, as well as more formal developments in gauge theories and gravity..
