On the Cuts of Scattering Amplitudes
arXiv:0807.3493 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysbps.2008.09.082
Abstract
The use of complex analysis for computing one-loop scattering amplitudes is naturally induced by generalised unitarity-cut conditions, fulfilled by complex values of the loop variable. We report on two techniques: the cut-integration with spinor-variables as contour integrals of rational functions; and the use of the Discrete Fourier Transform to optimize the reduction of tensor-integrals to master scalar integrals.
