The integrand form of infrared singularities of two-loop QCD scattering amplitudes

Abstract

In this work, we express the singular part of a scattering amplitude in terms of Feynman integrals compatible with topologies appearing in the bare amplitude, and we choose a basis of locally finite Master Integrals. In two-loop massless QCD, we find such a representation of the amplitude singularities using a systematic ansatz reconstruction of the integrand from a predicted integrated form. As an example application, we write the finite part of an amplitude for the digluon production in quark annihilation for some helicity configurations as manifestly locally finite.
