Analytic two-loop master integrals for $tW$ production at hadron colliders: I

Abstract

We present the analytic calculation of two-loop master integrals that are relevant for $tW$ production at hadron colliders. We focus on the integral families with only one massive propagator. After choosing a canonical basis, the differential equations for the master integrals can be transformed into the $d$ln form. The boundaries are determined by simple direct integrations or regularity conditions at kinematic points without physical singularities. The analytical results in this work are expressed in terms of multiple polylogarithms, and have been checked with numerical computations.
