Pentagon Functions for One-Mass Planar Scattering Amplitudes

Abstract

We present analytic results for all planar two-loop Feynman integrals contributing to five-particle scattering amplitudes with one external massive leg. We express the integrals in terms of a basis of algebraically-independent transcendental functions, which we call one-mass pentagon functions. We construct them by using the properties of iterated integrals with logarithmic kernels. The pentagon functions are manifestly free of unphysical branch cuts, do not require analytic continuation, and can be readily evaluated over the whole physical phase space of the massive particle production channel. We develop an efficient algorithm for their numerical evaluation and present a public implementation suitable for direct phenomenological applications.
