Calculation of QCD loops using tree-level matrix elements

Abstract

The possibility of treating colour in one-loop amplitude calculations alike the other quantum numbers is briefly discussed for semi-numerical algorithms based on generalized unitarity and parametric integration techniques. Numerical results are presented for the calculation of virtual corrections in multi-gluon scattering.
