Classical Spin Gravitational Compton Scattering

Abstract

We introduce a novel bootstrap method for classical Compton scattering amplitudes involving two massless gluon/graviton particles and two arbitrary-spin infinite-mass particles in a heavy-mass effective field theory context. Using a suitable ansatz, we deduce new and explicit classical spin results for gluon four and five-point infinite mass processes that exhibit exponentiated three-point factorizations to all orders in spin and feature no spurious poles. We discuss the generalization of our bootstrap to higher multiplicities and summarize future potential applications.
