Event details

We review a recently proposed subtraction procedure at next-to- and next-to-next-to-leading order in QCD, based on the introduction of a set of minimal, local and analytically integrable counterterms. We also provide an operator definition for the counterterms by investigating the factorisation properties of a generic massless virtual amplitude.  Our local, analytic scheme is designed for massless final state radiation only, but its main features are extensible to initial state radiation.

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..
