[1] for the construction of Ansätze for scattering amplitudes. The method builds powerful constraints on the analytic structure of the rational functions in amplitudes from numerical tests of their behavior close to singularity surfaces. We discuss how we systematically understand these surfaces and how the singular behavior of the rational function can be incorporated into an Ansatz using techniques from algebraic geometry. To perform the numerical sampling, we make use of 𝑝 -adic numbers, a number-theoretical field that can be considered a cousin of finite fields. The 𝑝 -adic numbers admit a non-trivial absolute value, as well as analytic functions such as the 𝑝 -adic logarithm. We provide a detailed example of the approach applied to an NMHV tree amplitude and discuss the efficacy when applied to the two-loop leading-color amplitude for three-photon production at hadron colliders.","PeriodicalId":151433,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Loops and Legs in Quantum Field Theory — PoS(LL2022)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132994876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such identified particles in the final state make the treatment of infrared divergences more subtle, because of additional collinear divergences to be handled. We extend the antenna subtraction method to include hadron fragmentation processes up to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in QCD in 𝑒 + 𝑒 − collisions. To this end, we introduce new double-real and real-virtual fragmentation antenna functions in the final-final kinematics, with associated phase space mappings. These antenna functions are integrated over the relevant phase spaces, retaining their dependence on the momentum fraction of the fragmenting parton.","PeriodicalId":151433,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Loops and Legs in Quantum Field Theory — PoS(LL2022)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126729938","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A given RS can be well suited to yield ``stable'' and ``well behaved'' higher-order corrections in one part of the BSM parameter space, but can fail completely in other parts. The latter may not even be noticed numerically if an isolated parameter point is investigated. Here we review a new method for choosing a ``well behaved'' RS. We demonstrate the feasibility of our new method in the chargino/neutralino sector of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), but stress the general applicability of our method to all types of BSM models.","PeriodicalId":151433,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Loops and Legs in Quantum Field Theory — PoS(LL2022)","volume":"13 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128943977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The rational terms are crucial ingredients that are needed for the four-dimensional calculation of scattering amplitudes, which is suitable for automation in a numerical framework. Within automated one-loop tools, the numerator of 𝐷 -dimensionally regularised loop amplitudes are usually constructed through numerical algorithms in 𝐷 = 4 dimensions, while the contributions of the missing ( 𝐷 − 4 ) -dimensional parts can be reconstructed a posteriori by means of rational counterterms. At two loops with four-dimensional numerators, we show that the missing ( 𝐷 − 4 ) part can also be reconstructed through the process-independent two-loop rational terms in any renormalisable theories. This opens the door to the development of an efficient two-loop amplitudes automation in the future.","PeriodicalId":151433,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Loops and Legs in Quantum Field Theory — PoS(LL2022)","volume":"114 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128150900","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
